Museo de la Radio, Radio museum in Ponferrada, Spain.

The Museo de la Radio is housed in the Casa de los Escudos, a baroque mansion with carved stone decorations in central Ponferrada. The building contains about 200 radio receivers that show how broadcasting technology developed over time.

The Casa de los Escudos, a late-Baroque and Rococo mansion, was built in the 18th century by Francisco García de las Llanas, perpetual alderman of Ponferrada and knight of the Order of Alcántara. Its interior was renovated in the 1990s, and the museum project by Jesús Álvarez Courel opened in 2002–2003 around Luis del Olmo's collection of 200 radio receivers.

The museum is named after Luis del Olmo, the Ponferrada-born broadcaster whose donation of some 200 radio receivers forms the collection. Recorded historic broadcasts from RNE, SER, COPE and Onda Cero can be heard during the visit, tracing the history of radio in Spain.

The museum occupies the Casa de los Escudos, a late-baroque mansion in central Ponferrada, so it can be reached on foot from the old town. The interior was refurbished in the 1990s and fitted out as a museum under a project by Jesús Álvarez Courel in 2002-2003. Look for the two coats of arms on the facade, one for the Llanas family and one for the Benero Rebollín.

The collection of some 200 radio receivers belonged to the broadcaster Luis del Olmo, and the museum's displays include historic recordings from RNE, SER, COPE and Onda Cero. The building itself, the 18th-century Casa de los Escudos, was remodelled in the 1990s and fitted out as a museum in 2002-2003.
