Museo de Arte Abstracto Español. Fundación Juan March

Museo de Arte Abstracto Español, located in the Casas Colgadas of Cuenca, is one of Spain’s most important museums dedicated to abstract art. Founded in 1966 by artist Fernando Zóbel, the museum played a crucial role in legitimizing and promoting Spanish abstraction at a time when it was still marginal within the country’s cultural institutions.

The collection brings together key figures of 20th-century Spanish abstraction, including Antonio Saura, Eduardo Chillida, Manuel Millares, Antoni Tàpies, and Pablo Palazuelo, among others. The museum’s intimate scale and careful integration of artworks with the historic architecture create a unique viewing experience, where modern abstraction dialogues with medieval space. Renowned internationally, the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español is not only a landmark of Spanish art history but also a powerful example of how vision, independence, and artistic conviction can shape a lasting cultural institution.
