Water damages 14 artworks at Museo del Prado

A water leak in the Museo del Prado warehouse has caused damage to six paintings, among them Jan Brueghel the Elder's The Wedding Banquet, and eight drawings. According to the center's director, Miguel Zugaza, the damage is not extensive and some of the works have already been restored.

It appears that the damage was caused by leaks in the extraction system installed for the dispersal of smoke in case of a warehouse fire. The leaks were detected early and all endangered artworks were moved.
