| Sumario: | In its almost 160 years of history, the Museo Arqueológico Nacional (MAN) has evolved in several aspects, many of them related to the museography and museology of its rooms. 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. The importance we attach to the items should be matched by the way in which those items have been shown to the public, the renovation of the display areas they occupied, the furniture used, and the almost constant increase of new collections, which helped shape the current museum. |
