The Exhibition
The Calouste Gulbenkian Museum presents the exhibition “A Shared History. Treasures of the Royal Palaces of Spain”, organized in collaboration with Patrimonio Nacional of Spain.
Placing particular emphasis on collecting and on the patronage practised by the monarchs and members of Spain’s royal family, this exhibition has a third underlying theme in that it evokes and illustrates the political and matrimonial relations between the two Iberian royal houses.
Through the exhibition's 141 works of art the visitor embarks on time travel from Isabella the Catholic, Queen of Castile and León – and Aragorn by her marriage to Ferdinand II in 1469 –, until Isabella of Braganza, Queen of Spain by marriage to Ferdinand VII, to whom we owe the founding of the Prado Museum in 1819.
