This paper aims to summarize this evolution, from its initial location in the Casino de la Reina, where the Egyptian collections were originally included in the First Section, to the present day in its current premises in the central street of Serrano, premises that were previously known as the Palacio de Biblioteca y Museos Nacionales, where they are part of a department that also encompasses the Nubian and the Near Eastern collections, with objects exhibited permanently and others in the Showcase Zero.

En estos casi 160 años de historia, el Museo Arqueológico Nacional (MAN) ha evolucionado en numerosos aspectos, muchos de ellos relacionados con la museografía y la museología de sus salas. Este trabajo pretende resumir esa evolución, desde su ubicación inicial en el Casino de la Reina, en el que las colecciones egipcias originariamente estaban englobadas en la Sección Primera, hasta el momento actual en la sede de la céntrica calle de Serrano, sede anteriormen-te conocida como el Palacio de Biblioteca y Museos Nacionales, donde forman parte de un departamento que aglutina además las colecciones nubias y de Oriente Próximo, con piezas expuestas de forma permanente y otras en la Vitrina Cero. La importancia que concedemos a las piezas debería ser igualada por la forma en la que esas piezas han sido mostradas al público, la adecuación de los espacios que ocuparon, el mobiliario que se empleó y el incremento casi constante de nuevas colecciones, que ayudó a configurar el actual museo.
