Mapfre Foundation. Recoletos Exhibition Hall

Reduced capacity due to the health situation. It is recommended that tickets are purchased on-line to avoid waiting times.

Devoted to the exhibition of plastic arts, created by diverse artists from the last third of the 19th century through to just after the Second World War, this hall, opened in 2008, is located in a building constructed between 1881 and 1884 by the architect, Agustín Ortiz de Villajos, for the Duchess of Medina de Torres. 

The building originally consisted of a height of four floors and semi-basement, but in 1910 two towers were built in the corners. After a series of refurbishment and restructuring projects, the building now has an exhibition area with an approximate surface of 1,000 m2, divided into three halls.

The Mapfre Foundation had another exhibition hall in Madrid called Sala Bárbara de Braganza, located close to the Sala Recoletos, devoted to the maestros of photography, which is now permanently closed.
