The museum is located in the former place of residence of the Pardo Bazán family in A Coruña - also current headquarters of Royal Galician Academy. The location was chosen by the last descent of Pardo Bazán, her daughter Blanca Quiroga, who signed a donation document to uplift and perpetuate the memory of the distinguish writer of a wide variety of subjects.
The Diocesan and Cathedral Museum of Mondoñedo was created at the beginning of 1968. Later on, the museum was expanded to end up occupying a large amount of spaces in the cathedral.
The museum houses a selection of 15th century English alabasters from London and Nottingham workshops, as well as a Magdalene altarpiece 15th century, with a 15th century image. The museum also shows large 16th century Flemish panels and important pieces made of silver and ivory: sticks, trays, goblets, monstrances, processional cross and candle holders.
The former Convent of Santo Domingo de Bonaval (17th - 18th centuries), houses the Museum of Galician People opened in 1977. This socially based museum has restored all the convent area and increased its funds. This remodelling triggered the expansion of exhibition spaces and the chances of showing Galician culture features.
