Created in 1951, the Museum of Pilgrimage and Santiago is an institution that was the brainchild of Manuel Chamoso Lamas. Initially, the purpose of the museum was to highlight the history of the city and the phenomenon of pilgrimages. Today, the establishment is a national museum institution which has, over the years, built an impressive collection of artifacts exhibited to the public. Some of their popular exhibitions include archaeological drawings by Heitor Picallo titled The Tower of Valle Bermudez O Caraminal, Homo Sapiens, Transmitter of Knowledge at the Pedagogic Museum of Galicia, and We Refugees at the Galician Center for Contemporary Art.
