Visit the Mapfre Foundation in Madrid, and discover a space for avant-garde culture as well as artistic and documentary photography.
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 September 19 to January 18, 2025 you will be able to visit two temporary exhibitions:
1. Raimundo de Madrazo: Organized in collaboration with the Meadows Museum in Dallas, this exhibition is the first major retrospective of one of the most cosmopolitan painters and finest technicians of his time.
2. Edward Weston. The Matter of Forms: Edward Weston (Illinois, 1886 – California, 1958) played a key role in the transformation of photography into an autonomous artistic language. Exhibition organized with the support of the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, Tucson.
