The Luis del Olmo Radio Museum fills the Casa de los Escudos with microphones, receivers, studio equipment, and memorabilia connected with Spanish broadcasting. It is named for the Ponferrada-born radio journalist Luis del Olmo, whose collection helped give the museum its unusually specific focus.
This is not a blockbuster museum, but it is one of Ponferrada's more original small stops. After the Templar castle and old churches, the radio displays pull the city into the twentieth century and are especially good for anyone interested in media, design, or the technology of everyday voices.
