Within the walls of the new Royal Collections Gallery in Madrid, centuries of historical artifacts that once belonged to the crown are now on display for all to see. By artifacts, we mean anything you might find in a royal Spanish household: tapestries, carriages, paintings, jewels... and artworks by greats such as Caravaggio, Velázquez, Goya...
The museum is run by Spain's state agency of Patrimonio Nacional (National Heritage), which preserves and shares Spain's history. So, in today's broadcast, we talk to the chairwoman of National Heritage, Ana de la Cueva, about the museum and how long it's been in the making, but also about the National Heritage state agency as a whole.
