The selection of these 25 outstanding Spanish museums is used as the basis for theoretical reflections on the current state of the Spanish museology by Juan José Lahuerta, Javier Arnaldo, Selina Blasco, Rocío Robles, Ángel Seisdedos y Ángel González García (posthumously). This discipline is defined by the RAE as.-
From museo and -logía. Science which deals with museums, its history, its influence on society, conservation and cataloging techniques.

The dual nature of museology, provided its physical reality, result of a design and its narrative dimension, result of a speech, has created an endless and recurring debate about which of the two vectors must prevail... a debate without solution, even if the professionals of the field find it enormously interesting and enriching.
