See author's fileFrom the time of the Museum’s founding this small room was part of the private area known as Their Majesties’ Rest Room (now Room 39). Similar to those existing in other Bourbon palaces, it housed the King’s lavatory. Despite its late date, 1834, the walls and ceiling of this room were decorated in the Neoclassical style by Francisco Martínez.
