The Madrid Railway Museum opens today the temporary exhibition ‘Zhivago Station. 60 years of an epic filming’, which pays tribute to the legendary filming of the movie Doctor Zhivago in the old Delicias station, today the museum’s headquarters. The exhibition, which can be visited until October, brings together large-format photographs — some of them unpublished — taken during filming in Delicias and other filming locations, such as Canillas and Soria.
The exhibition is enriched with publicity documents, press cuttings from the period, original pieces related to the filming, and correspondence between the writer Miguel Delibes and the production company Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, for which he supervised the adaptation of the dialogues into Spanish. In addition, a documentary video will be shown, featuring testimonies from experts and participants in the film, including Víctor Matellano, Jesús Marchamalo, Ricardo Huertas, and Alfonso Linos.
Doctor Zhivago, directed by David Lean and based on the novel by Boris Pasternak, was filmed in Spain due to the impossibility of filming in the Soviet Union at the time. The Delicias station, which is 145 years old, has been the setting for numerous film and television productions. The exhibition is open daily from 10:00 to 15:00.
