Art

Culture is an essential part of being human. It connects us, brings us together, and allows us to shape our identity. It defines us and enables us to better understand our surroundings and ourselves.

Convinced that progress can be driven through culture, we are opening our exhibition spaces to the public, inviting them to become part of the artistic creativity that flourished between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Over seventeen million visitors have attended the more than 700 exhibitions of painting, drawing, sculpture and photography that we have organized over the past 30 years. The exhibitions we organize are accompanied by workshops and interactive tours that foster creativity and turn visitors into the stars of the show.

On World Art Day, we invite you to discover our program: come to our galleries in search of something new, visit the exhibition by Swedish painter Anders Zorn, or immerse yourself in Helen Levitt’s street photography of Madrid. In Barcelona, the images of Pérez Siquier and master photographer Walker Evans breathe life into the walls of our KBr Photography Center.

It doesn’t matter where you are. Our exhibitions move around, reaching out to new audiences, crossing borders to go even further, with no geographical barriers. Discover where they travel to.

Our cultural program also extends beyond the physical. The virtual tours allow you to explore current exhibitions and enjoy a comprehensive experience, bringing the excitement of art to wherever you are. Would you like to discover the Zorn exhibition from the comfort of your own home?

Our website also offers art lovers access to our collections of paintings, drawings, and photographs, reflecting our strong commitment to sharing and promoting a cultural heritage that inspires and moves people.

Today, tomorrow, every day, from wherever you want, enjoy art. Step into our world whichever way is best for you. The choice is yours.
