This space is dedicated to the exhibition of plastic arts created by various artists from the last thirty years of the 19th century up until just after the Second World War. First opened in 2008, the exhibition hall is located in a building constructed between 1881 and 1884 by the architect Agustín Ortiz de Villajos for the Duchess of Medina de las Torres.
The building originally consisted of a height of four floors and included a semi-basement, but in 1910 two towers were added onto the corners of the structure. After a series of refurbishment and restructuring projects, the building now boasts an exhibition surface area of approximately 1,000m2, which is divided into three halls.
The Mapfre Foundation used to have another exhibition space in the city that was located closeby: Bárbara de Braganza Exhibition Hall. It was dedicated to the great masters of photography, but now remains permanently closed.
There is an access ramp to our exhibition halls. The hall is divided into three floors: Floor -1, Ground Floor and 1st Floor, with an accessible itinerary by means of a lift. Its width enables easy movement between floors.
The entrance door for the disabled is double leaf and is 1.80 m wide, accessible for all wheelchairs.
There is an accessible toilet on the Ground Floor for exclusive use by disabled people, marked with the International Symbol of Access (ISA). On the same floor, there is a wheelchair on loan to make the visit easier, which must be requested from the security staff at the entrance.
