Art for all: Exhibitions in Madrid

Our exhibition hall is situated within the palace belonging to the Duchess of Medina de las Torres, an outstanding example of Madrid’s 19th-century noble architecture, located along the great cultural axis that is Paseo del Arte. With an exhibition area of approximately 1,000 m², we opened our doors in autumn 2008. Since then, this Fundación Mapfre exhibition hall on Paseo de Recoletos has been hosting important art and photography exhibitions.
