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.

Until the 5th of May, there are two temporary exhibitions available: Chagall. A cry of freedom and Christer Strömholm.

• Chagall. A cry of freedom: Marc Chagall (1887-1985), whose life spanned two world wars and an exile, left a body of work deeply rooted in the history of the 20th century.

• Christer Strömholm: Christer Strömholm (1918-2002) captured his surroundings in black-and-white images that display his integrity, understated humour and a highly personal aesthetic.
