The 1892 History Exhibitions

This museum’s Photographic Archive contains a series of photographic prints on paper taken on the occasion of the 1892 History Exhibitions. In addition to these images, other photographs have been found at different institutions that also visually document the two exhibitions, and all these graphic records have now been assembled in one catalogue for the first time. The publication explains the context of these photographs and what they show, shedding light on a very specific moment in Spanish history.

1893 Natural History and Ethnography Exhibition

Among the many items held in the museum’s Photographic Archive, we find 32 prints on paper taken on the occasion of this exhibition in 1893. These photographs serve as the starting point for offering an overview of that historical moment from different perspectives, and for reviewing the museums and institutions where the objects featured in that exhibition are housed today.
