This national costume museum near the university campus explores the history of dress and fashion in Spain, from historic regional garments to the work of twentieth-century couturiers. Housed in a modernist building set among gardens, its collection includes textiles, accessories, and designs by figures such as Balenciaga and Fortuny. Displays trace how clothing reflects social status, regional identity, and changing tastes across the centuries. The museum offers a distinctive view of Spanish cultural history.
