Bio / presentation
The National Museum of Anthropology in Madrid, inaugurated in 1875 as Spain's first anthropological museum, is a pioneering institution dedicated to the study and exhibition of diverse world cultures. Its main mission is to foster knowledge and respect for human diversity, showcasing ethnographic collections ranging from everyday objects to art and rituals from different continents. Through its permanent and temporary exhibitions, the museum encourages reflection on identity, collective memory, and traditions, offering a window into the living expressions and knowledge of various peoples. It is a vital space for understanding intangible cultural heritage, exploring the connections between communities and their cultural legacies.
