RESUMEN:Durante la Exposición Iberoamericana celebrada en Sevilla en 1929Sevilla en -1930

The aim of this article is to study the living ethnological exhibitions. The main feature of these multiform varieties of public show, which became widespread in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century Europe and the United States, was the live presence of individuals who were considered "primitive". Whilst these native peoples sometimes gave demonstrations of their skills or produced manufactures for the audience, more often their role was simply as exhibits, to display their bodies and gestures, their different and singular condition. In this article, the three main forms of modern ethnic show (commercial, colonial and missionary) will be presented, together with a warning about the inadequacy of categorising all such spectacles under the label of "human zoos", a term which has become common in both academic and media circles in recent years.

RESUMENDurante la segunda mitad del siglo xix se celebran en Europa y América innumerables exposiciones etnológicas, coloniales y universales que materializan ante los visitantes la condición inferior y «salvaje» de las gentes colonizadas. Siguiendo de forma parcial esos modelos, se organiza en Madrid la Exposición de Filipinas de 1887. El objetivo del autor es presentar de forma global esa efervescencia expositiva y analizar la singularidad ideológica del evento madrileño.Palabras clave: Colonialismo, Filipinas, Exposiciones universales, Exposiciones internacionales. Etnología. SUMMARYA large number of International, colonial and ethnological exhibitions were held in Europe and America during the second half of the nineteenth century, all of them designed to show visitors the inferior and «wild» nature of the colonized peoples. Partially in accordance with these precedents, the Philippine Exhibition was organized in Madrid in 1887. The author discusses in general terms such age of exhibitions and calis attention to the ideological singularity of the event held in Madrid.

Se revisan las circunstancias que hacen posible su creación, vinculadas tanto con el estudio y la docencia de la anatomía como con los proyectos políticos de regeneración y modernización de la Medicina española que trata de poner en marcha su propietario. Se comentan sus singulares colecciones (de anatomía, teratología, zoología, etnografía y curiosidades diversas) y se analiza la proyección docente y sociopolítica de ambos centros, sin cuya existencia no hubiera sido posible que Velasco construyera poco después su gran Museo Antropológico, sede del actual Museo Nacional de Antropología en Madrid.PALABRAS CLAVE: Doctor Velasco; Museo Anatómico; Museo Antropológico; Anatomía; Antropología. ABSTRACT:In this article we examine the two anatomical museums organized by Dr. Pedro González Velasco in his own homes in nineteenth-century Madrid. We analyze the circumstances that made possible the formation of the centers, which were related to the study and teaching of anatomy and to some Velasco's political projects of regeneration and modernization of Spanish Medicine. We explore its collections (of anatomy, teratology, zoology, ethnography and "curiosities") and we try to show how Velasco used his museums with both teaching and sociopolitical objectives. Finally, it is clear that without the formation of these little museums it would not have been possible for Velasco the construction of his great Anthropological Museum, in 1875, which now houses the National Museum of Anthropology.
