The museum renews its exhibition discourse and, in parallel, expands the number of rooms in the permanent collection of modern art dedicated to art produced during the period of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). A total of 108 pieces are on display, including paintings, drawings, engravings, photographs, sculptures, paper money, along with new media, such as illustrated publications, posters, photomontage and cinema, which were used by both sides. Works by 43 artists, some of whom had never before been exhibited in the museum's galleries, are on display. A group of 57 works from the reserves will be exhibited for the first time in the permanent collection. Also on display for the first time will be works from private deposits, as well as some recent acquisitions, which will contribute to enriching the exhibition discourse.
