Museum of Royal Collection in Madrid. Nuevo museo en la "capital" del estado.

 Nuevo museo que, parece, es un proyecto que viene de lejos. Su objetivo mostrar el "buen gusto" de la realeza.

On 28 June, these works – along with more than 640 other treasures from Spain’s vast, state-owned royal collections – will go on show as the Spanish capital’s most ambitious museum project in decades finally opens its doors.

Although the idea of creating a gallery to showcase the splendid carriages and tapestries of the royal collections was originally conceived during the Second Republic in the early 1930s, plans for the Museum of Royal Collections were interrupted by the Spanish civil war and the subsequent Franco dictatorship.

Despite a green light from the government in 1998, the €162m (£143m) project was delayed for a quarter of a century by the discovery of a huge chunk of Madrid’s 9th-century Arab wall, then by the 2008 financial crisis and, more recently, by the Covid pandemic.
