Summary

A rare 1935 exhibition of the Holy Ark (c. 1096–1101) from Oviedo Cathedral at the Museo del Prado, linked to its restoration, is documented for the first time using previously unseen records. This relicario, a masterpiece of European Romanesque art and a cornerstone of the Holy Chamber, was displayed outside its usual setting, offering a unique glimpse into its historical significance. The study sheds light on an overlooked moment in its rich historiography, bridging art, history, and conservation.
