Museo del Grabado Español Contemporáneo

Description:

• This magnificent museum is located in the old Bazan Hospital, a 16th century building that still conserves its tower with typical roof tiles and whitewashed walls. It has been renovated to hold important works by Tapies, Miro, Picasso, and Chillida in its two floors. There is also a library, where more than a thousand works on the last two centuries of Spanish Graphic Art are held. The museum organizes and holds temporary exhibitions, as well as grants the National Etching Prize every year. Currently, the construction of a workshop-school is underway in a side building. Visitors can enjoy guided tours both morning and afternoon Tuesday through Friday.
