A major new contemporary art museum has opened in Cáceres, a historic city in western Spain’s Extremadura region. Designed by Tuñón Arquitectos, the Museum of Contemporary Art Helga de Alvear has been built to publicly exhibit artworks by more than 500 international artists – including Jenny Holzer and Anish Kapoor – which acclaimed gallerist Helga de Alvear has collected over 40 years.
De Alvear established a non-profit arts foundation in Cáceres in 2006, housed in Casa Grande, a palatial building from 1913. The new 5,000 sq m museum brings together this building, the restoration of which formed the first stage of the project, with a major new extension clad in white reinforced concrete, housing spacious exhibition halls.
