National Museums in Spain: a History of Crown, Church and People José María Lanzarote Guiral
Building National Museums in Europe 1750-2010. Conference proceedings from EuNaMus, European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Bologna 28-30 April 2011. Peter Aronsson & Gabriella Elgenius (eds) EuNaMus Report No 1. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=064 © The Author. National Museums in Spain: A History of Crown, Church and People José María Lanzarote Guiral Summary The present report provides an overview on the history of national museums in Spain as well as an analysis of a selected set of case studies. In the first part of this report, a historical outline of the creation and evolution of museums is provided from the point of view of the enlarging scope of the concept ‘national heritage’. The choice of national museums in the second part exemplifies the role played by different categories of heritage in the construction of national master narrative in Spain, including fine arts (Museo del Prado), archaeology (Museo Arqueológico Nacional) and nature (Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales). The study of the Museum of the Americas (Museo de América) allows for the exploration of the complex relationship between Spanish national identity and the imperial past, whereas the Museum of History of Catalonia (Museu d’Història de Catalunya) leads reflection to the competing nationalist projects within the state. Finally, the case of the Museum of the Spanish Army (Museo del Ejército Español) is considered in the light of the contemporary debates on ‘historical memory’ that have marked its recent renovation. 847 Summary table, Spain Name Inaugurated Initiated Actors Ownership Type Values Temporal reach Style Location Prado Museum 1819 1819 Crown, Royal (1819-68) Fine Arts Spanish and Classical to Originally purpose-built Museo Nacional del Spanish state State (1868-) (painting and universal Neoclassical for Museum of Natural Prado sculpture) (sculpture) Sciences Middle Ages to (1785-1819), beginning 19th c. -

SHEPHERD ADJUNCT PROFESSOR OF HISTORY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, NEW YORK WASHINGTON, D. C: Published by the Carnegie Institution of Washington 1907 O V^•5- Carnegie Institution of Washington Publication No. 91 PAPERS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORICAL RESEARCH J. FRANKLIN JAMESON, DIRECTOR PKESt or Bykon 8. Adams WASHINGTON, D. C, PREFACE, Methodical exploitation of the materials for American history in foreign archives is one of the chief tasks incumbent upon the Depart- ment of Historical Research in the Carnegie Institution of Washington. In natural order the first step in the case of each important archive or group of archives is the preparation of a general survey of the materials of this kind which it possesses. On the basis of such a general guide, further exploitation by this Department or by other agencies can be con- ducted with intelligence and with due sense of proportion. With the exception of England, concerning whose public archives a thorough report by Professor Charles M. Andrews is in preparation, no country has so strong a claim as Spain to such attention on the part of an American historical agency. Professor Shepherd sailed to Spain for the collection of materials for this report early in June, 1905, and returned in the latter part of September. Though he already had a consider- able familiarity with the American papers in the chief Spanish reposi- tories, the time was short for the purpose in hand. -
1 MADRID the Capital of Spain, Located in the Heart of the Peninsula and Right in the Center of the Castillian Plain 646 Meters
1 MADRID The capital of Spain, located in the heart of the peninsula and right in the center of the Castillian plain 646 meters above sea level, has a population of over three million. A cosmopolitan city, a business center, headquarteers for the Public Administration, Government, Spanish Parliament and the home of the Spanish Royal Family, Madrid also plays a major role in both the banking and industrial sectors. Most industry is located on the southern fringe of the city, where importanttextile, food and metal working factories are clustered. Madrid is characterized by intense cultural and artistic activity and a very lively nightlife. The grand metropolis of Madrid can trace its origins to the times of Arab Emir Mohamed I (852-886), who ordered the construction of a fortress on the left bank of the Manzanares River. It later became the subject of a dispute between the Christians and Arabs until it was conquered by Alfonso VI in the 11th century. At the end of the 17th century, a defensive wall was built for the protection of the new outlying areas, tracing the roads of Segovia, Toledo and Valencia. During the 18th century, under the rthe reign of Carlos III, the great arteries of the city were designed, such as the Paseo de la Castellana, Paseo de Recoletos, Paseo del Prado and Paseo de Acacias. At the beginning of the 19th century, Joseph Bonaparte undertook the reform of the Puerta del Sol and vicinity. The commercial street known as the Gran Vía was builtas an east-west avenue at the start of the century.
