Our exhibition hall is situated within the palace belonging to the Duchess of Medina de las Torres, an outstanding example of Madrid’s 19th-century noble architecture, located along the great cultural axis that is Paseo del Arte. Its exhibition area covers an area of approximately 1,000 m2. We opened its doors in the fall of 2008, coinciding with the new international outlook of our programs. This came after the in-depth review of the modernization of Spanish art from the 19th century to the Civil War that had defined our programming since our exhibitions began in the early 1990s.

The photography program includes both classic names in the field as well as contemporary artists of international renown. In addition, Sala Recoletos offers an environment that encourages intellectual exchange and reflection, featuring educational programs, lectures and special events that enrich the public’s experience.
