La rana de la suerte

Visit the Mapfre Foundation in Madrid and discover a space for both avant-garde culture and artistic and documentary photography. Located in a building designed by architect Agustín Ortiz de Villajos for the Duchess of Medina de las Torres. After a series of restructuring and improvement works, the exhibition area currently occupies an area of about 1,000 m2, divided into three rooms that are mainly used to exhibit the plastic arts from the last third of the 19th century until shortly after World War II. The exhibition halls were inaugurated in the fall of 2008, coinciding with a new international perspective in our programming after a thorough review of the modernization of Spanish art between the last third of the 19th century and the Spanish Civil War. Two temporary exhibitions are available until May 5: Chagall. A cry for freedom and Christer Strömholm.
