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 the 19 of september until the 5th of January you will be able to visit three temporary exhibitions:

- Paul Durand-Ruel and the Twilight of Impressionism: This exhibition aims to raise awareness of the extraordinary art dealer and patron Paul Durand-Ruel.

- 31 Women. An exhibition by Peggy Guggenheim: The exhibition underscores Guggenheim’s role as a patron and addresses the context in which the women artists she worked with at her New York gallery developed their work, as well as the collaborative networks they established among themselves.

- Weegee. Autopsy of the Spectacle: This exhibition aims to expresses a critique of the ‘society of the spectacle’.
