History
The Museum of Art Nouveau and Art Déco was inaugurated on April 6th, 1995. It soon became one of the most frequented museums in Castile and Leon, with an average of 120,000 visitors every year.
For the last ten years, the Museum and its patron Manuel Ramos Andrade have received numerous awards in gratitude for their commitment towards culture and tourism. Most noteworthy are the following: the Paul Harris Fellow and Blasón de Turismo de Castilla y León, in 1996; the Máster de Popularidad, in 1997; and the City Gold Medal, in 1998.
Among its many distinguished visitors, His Royal Highness Felipe de Borbón y Grecia visited the Museum in May 1997. During the 15th Ibero-American Summit of Heads of State and Government held in Salamanca in October 2005, Her Royal Highness Queen Sofía and the First Ladies of the countries participating in the Summit made a private visit to the Museum.
The illustrious visitors admired the collections of chryselephantines and dolls of the Manuel Ramos Andrade Foundation and notably paid closer attention to the jewels and scent bottles. The First Ladies took numerous photographs of the building during their visit.
