Museo do Pobo Galego

The Museum of Galician People was created in 1976 with the objectives of research and the preservation, dissemination, defence and promotion of Galician culture in all areas, and, specifically, to create and develop a museum at the service of these goals. The first rooms were opened in 1977. The Museum has permanent galleries dedicated to the sea, the trades, the land, el costume, the music, al habitat and architecture, the society and the press and printing. The criterion used in its creation aims to provide an overall view of all the different facets that define the culture of Galicia. Far from enclosing this complex cultural phenomenon within the physical realm of the museum, the aim is to provide a compendium of the diversity of Galicia which can serve as a reference for evaluating the variety of forms within the group and to encourage interest in first-hand knowledge and the search for future alternatives.

The Museo do Pobo Galego is housed in the Convent of San Domingos de Bonaval, outside the old walled city near the Porta do Camiño (gate to the Camino Francés). This is an ethnographic museum on the Galician people and their culture, which for centuries has included migration to other parts of Spain and the Americas. This part is interesting, but the highlight is a magical triple helical staircase of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the work of architect Domingo de Andrade. The stairwell swirls with three separate ramps that lead to different floors. Supposedly, the idea was to provide privacy, though I suspect it also provided segregation of ranks or classes. The rungs of the ladder are said to be made of a whole piece, set in an outer rib fit without joining the wall or each other. My wife and I explored the stairs like children, eventually making our way to the top floor, from where you have a great roof-top view of the city.

Emilia Pardo Bazan House Museum

Este edificio sitúase no actual número 11 da rúa Tabernas, na Cidade Vella da Coruña. A través das distintas salas, as visitas poderán coñecer a figura de Pardo Bazán, mergullándose na súa vida e a súa obra, así como no contexto histórico da Coruña e Madrid da segunda metade do século XIX e afondarán nas pegadas visibles hoxe en día da escritora. A casa na que a escritora pasou boa parte da súa vida, acolle a sede da Real Academia Galega por expresa vontade das herdeiras da condesa, en agradecemento á institución que a nomeou presidenta honoraria desde a súa fundación, o 30 de setembro de 1906.

Museo Catedralicio

Reviewed By rayporsche - Ottawa, Canada

This museum is located on the gallery floor above the street level of the Cathedral de Compostela. The museum contains rare historical artifacts and dramatic presentations of religious memorabilia, illustrates the evolution of the Cathedral and of the citystate from the first humble monument to Saint James up to the present era. The art here is gorgeous. You wander through the museum at your own pace, absorb what you wish and learn about the past in this historical venue. The Cathedral may be closed for renovation through much of 2019-2020 so this museum will be a worthwhile educational and tourist stop in the interim.

Museo Casa de la Troya

The Casa de la Troya Museum is located in the heart of Santiago de Compostela old town, very close to the church of St. Martin Pinario the Cathedral. The museum re-creates the environment and decoration of a students' dormitory and Santiago's university life of late 19th century. The recreation is based in the novel by Alejandro Pérez Lugín “La Casa de la Troya” (House of the Troy). From 1886 to 1906 the house was a guest house for students. The 90s restoration reconfigured the rooms and chambers just like the guesthouse that appears in the novel. Following the reception in the ground floor, the first floor reproduces the former hall and study area (apart from being the rehearsal room for the Tuna of Santiago at some point) and the respect hall, the space for receiving the students' families. In the second floor the visitor will see the bedroom. The kitchen is located in attic the highest part of the house. The visits are guided and last approximately 20 minutes.
