Cathedral Museum = Tapestry Art Museum?

Heading West in Spain ~ Zamora (Region) The most important collection in the Zamora Cathedral Museum is the Flemish tapestry collection, which dates back to the 15th and 16th centuries. The museum's entrance is located within the cloister of the Zamora Cathedral. It is a small museum that houses significant and high-quality items. It includes paintings, sculptures, tapestries, and precious metal objects. For example, we find the Corpus Christi made in 1515; the Foot Washing Altar, made of silver in 1723; and the marble statue of the Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus and John the Baptist, created by the sculptor Bartolomé Ordóñez. However, the most important items are the Flemish tapestries from the workshops of Arras, Tournai, and Brussels. The oldest tapestries date back to the 15th century and depict stories of the Trojan War and the Roman King Tarquinius Priscus.
