Museum of la Ciudad de Móstoles

Monument · Móstoles, Área Metropolitana, Madrid

It occupies the former Casa de Correos, a neo-Mudéjar building on calle Andrés Torrejón that retains its original façade and structure, and holds a 1:20 scale model reconstructing what the town looked like in 1808. The museum, run by the Town Council and located in the Centro district, very close to the Casa Museo Andrés Torrejón, opened on 18 November 2008 with an investment of 2.1 million euros. It has an exhibition hall, an auditorium and several multipurpose rooms, and offers a permanent exhibition on the history of Móstoles from the nineteenth century to the present, a photographic collection from the early twentieth century and an ethnographic room focused on the municipality's agricultural past. The 1808 model was made by the Asociación Histórico Cultural 2 de Mayo.
