For the creation of this museum dedicated to Emilia Pardo Bazan, the authorization of the writer's heiresses was required. They signed an act of donation of the building to the Royal Galician Academy, with the commitment of the same to preserve and disseminate the legacy of who had been named honorary president of this institution in 1906.
