Picasso Museum in Paris is worth a visit. Amazing.
It’s probably better than the one in Barcelona. The Picasso Museum in Barcelona is a must-see for someone art-crazy like me but the wow-factor is quite low. (The first painting in @Midnighter ’s post is in Barcelona.) I have not visited the Picasso Museum in Paris.

I’m telling you, the star of the Prado is Goya. God, to see the sweep of his oeuvre, that was incredible. Velasquez in the Prado was as expected (peak wow) but taken together the Goyas stunned me. Jane and I went to the Prado three times in our five days in Madrid, lol.

Sounds a lot better than the Mushroom Museum in Kennett Square

I'm a huge fan of Goya also. I credit my high school Spanish teacher for introducing me to his work during her lectures on the great persons of culture in Spain.

Youse guys really get around.

I saw Bob Ross on TV several times, and thought he was amazing.
“A walk in the woods” is my favorite.
