Housed in a building designed by architect Agustín Ortiz de Villajos for the Duchess of Medina de las Torres. Following a series of restructuring and upgrading works the exhibition area now covers an area of around 1000 m2, divided into three rooms which are mainly used for exhibiting the plastic arts from the last third of the 19th century through to just after the Second World War. The exhibition rooms opened in the autumn of 2008, coinciding with a new international perspective in our programming following an in-depth review of the modernization of Spanish art between the last third of the 19th century to the Spanish Civil War.
From February, 11 to May 7, there are two temporary exhibitions available: Leonora Carrington. Revelation and Facundo de Zuviría. Images of Buenos Aires.
Leonora Carrington. Revelation: The exhibition aims to pay tribute to this unique artist and to disseminate the richness and complexity of a body of work that is well known in the United States and Mexico but which has only received greater recognition in Europe in the last few years.
Facundo de Zuviría. Images of Buenos Aires: This exhibition shows the collection of photographs of the artist from the city of Buenos Aires, his hometown, that end up offering a single image: the beautiful and nostalgic testimony of the passage of time through a metropolis.
