Museo del Traje

The Museum of Garment - Ethnologic Heritage Research Center (Spanish: Museo del Traje - Centro de Investigación del Patrimonio Etnológico) is a museum and ethnology heritage research center in Madrid, Spain, devoted to promote, disseminate, value, and improve knowledge about the historical evolution of clothing and fashion.

In the keynote address at this event, the Count of Romanones raised the idea of making the temporary exhibition permanent.

Finally, in 2002, after a general discussion on the future of the museum, it was decided to enhance the public presence of the collection of costumes, from a modern perspective.

The architect, Jaime López de Asiaín, was awarded the National Prize for Architecture in 1969 for this project, construction beginning in 1971.

All are elevated above the surrounding landscape allowing visitors to walk beneath the building into a shaded courtyard containing a large monumental staircase.
