Notes related to Gelman Collection

The new center opens its doors with exhibitions devoted to the Gelman Collection and Mexican art, another exploring Leonora Carrington’s connection with Santander, and a third featuring a selection of masterpieces from the Banco Santander Collection.

The citizens' movement challenges the legality of an agreement authorizing the works to remain abroad until at least September 2030, in contradiction with existing legislation on the protection of artistic heritage.

The current controversy highlights the difficult coexistence between the collection’s private ownership and the heritage protection that covers part of its works.
