History of the Museum

Creating a museum dedicated to Galician culture had been a long-standing desire. The first achievement in this sense was the creation of the Seminar of Galician Studies. which in 1930 managed to secure an exhibition room in Fonesca College in Santiago de Compostela to exhibit its archaeological, anthropological and contemporary art collections. However, following the military coup, the Francoist forces banned its activity and dismantled the exhibition. Part of this legacy would later be recovered by the Padre Sarmiento Institute of Galician Studies.

Board of Trustees

The Museum of the Galician People's Board of Trustees is made up of a large proportion of the institutions whose work supports Galician culture, as well as a large number of specialists in its various areas and representatives of public administrations.

The association has three types of trustees: full trustees, institutional trustees and representatives of the Museum's members.
