We inaugurated a new exhibition project in Barcelona: the KBr Fundación MAPFRE photography center, an initiative that reinforces our commitment of more than a decade to this artistic practice.

The catalog of the exhibition dedicated to Carlos Pérez Siquier has been selected as one of the best photography books of the year. Carefully edited, its 270 pages cover the social evolution of Spain in recent decades from the peculiar vision of the photographer from Almeria.

With the reopening of our Recoletos Exhibition Hall we have regained our smile. We like you to visit us, share art with you, see you enjoy our exhibitions. Participate in #VernosLaCara and win a free entry to the Rodin-Giacometti exhibition.

Visit an exhibition, experience again the pleasure of being in front of a work. From June 2 you can recover these sensations. We take care that your visit complies with the prevention measures against COVID-19. You just have to come and enjoy.

Together we know that our societies can recover. This is the idea behind this year’s Museum Week, held from 11th to 17th of May. We have joined this event because, now more than ever, we know that we need to connect on a global level.

Each week we propose one of Miró’s works of art the children at home can discover all the magic hidden in his paintings. Encourage your children to express their emotions in a drawing and participate in our contest #DrawMiró.

The Niemeyer Center hosts the exhibition “Eternal Etchings”, and is one of the few occasions when you can enjoy the whole collection. From 20th February to 31st May.

Auguste Rodin, Alberto Giacometti, Leonora Carrington, Carlos Pérez Siquier, Lee Friedlander, Richard Learoyd, Paul Strand, Garry Winogrand and Bill Brandt are the main characters of our exhibition program.

At Fundación MAPFRE we want you to enjoy art this Christmas, to give yourself a special moment by visiting our exhibitions in Madrid or Barcelona. Surround yourself with photography and painting, share it with your family and loved ones, or dedicate it to yourself. Give yourself the time to discover.

Slowly, looking inside the subject as well as herself, Berenice Abbott photographed the most avant-garde figures of the time.

Richard Learoyd invites us to uncover the feelings of the people who inhabit his portraits, to extend our contemplation of his images to work out who they are and what thoughts they are hiding.

Vanesa Pérez-Sauquillo and Ignacio Vleming will be leading this event entitled The diverse loves of Berenice Abbott: photography, literature and New York which will delve into the world of Berenice Abbott, an indispensable commentator of a time in which diverse ways of loving emerged.

On the occasion of the opening of Richard Learoyd’s exhibition, we have organized a meeting with this artist, in conjunction with the ELISAVA school of design, where he will have the opportunity to talk to us about his understanding of photography and will reveal the secrets of his camera obscura.

We have opened up the doors to our permanent exhibition dedicated to Miró, so that on International Museum Day you can feast your eyes on the light, the colors and the symbols of our Mallorcan maestro. Come and visit us, step into Miro’s world.
