Exhibition «Madrid between books»
It is a small journey into the 19th century through the holdings of the Biblioteca Histórica Municipal, where every page echoes the capital’s past.
About this event
Until 14 September, Conde Duque hosts the exhibition «Madrid between books» to mark the 150th anniversary of the Biblioteca Histórica Municipal, founded in 1876.
The exhibition shows the richness and diversity of the Library’s bibliographic, archival and material holdings, complemented by singular pieces from other cultural institutions in the city. It is not merely an anniversary, but a look at 19th-century Madrid: its urban fabric, its cultural transformations and its social pulse.
The figure of Ramón de Mesonero Romanos, founder of the Library and one of the first chroniclers of everyday life in Madrid, occupies a central place. The exhibition offers a kind of dialogue between past and present, where books become testimonies to time and its changes.
