Description:Ruud notes that 'In August 1786 the Duke of Híjar donated a piglet monster to the museum [the Real Gabinete de Historia Natural]... The donator and the museum were connected through the gift of the monstrous pig, and thereby situated in a network of institutionalized reform and royal patronage.' (20)
