Hortensia Herrero Art Center

The Hortensia Herrero Art Centre is

on Calle del Mar.

 

This building was formerly a 17th century palace

which was restored to make the museum.

 

It is a museum of contemporary art.

It contains works of art made from the 20th century onwards

with modern techniques.

 

One of the most important works in the museum

is that of the Argentinian artist Tomás Saraceno.

The work is called Coronas Australis.

This work depicts coloured clouds

made of geometric shapes.

With this work the artist Thomas Saraceno

wanted to show the importance of taking care

of the environment.
