Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias - by Olga S on Google





Description
The Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias exhibits paintings, sculptures, photographs, and decorative and industrial art items from regional, Spanish and international artists. It is housed in three buildings in the centre of Oviedo: the Palacio de Velarde (with its glass roof atrium), the House of Oviedo-Portal, and the House of Solís-Carbajal. Some of the famous artists on display include Sorolla, Picasso, El Greco, Zurbarán, Francisco de Goya, Veronese, and Rubens.
Access & Transport
The museum is located in the historical centre of Oviedo, next to the cathedral. Oviedo is roughly in the centre of the Asturias region, 120km north of León and 190km west of Santander. Accessibility info: http://www.museobbaa.com/en/visit/accesibilidad/
Instructions & Recommendations
Besides the cathedral, nearby attractions include the Plaza de El Fontán and San Francisco Park.
Environmental & Social
Minor environmental impact to run the museum (mostly electricity) but repurposing of existing buildings. Spreads the arts and preserves the town's architectural heritage
Conclusion
Probably the best art museum in Asturias, it is not spectacular in any way but there is a broad range of artistic movements and themes represented, a standard curation, and it is suitably housed in old town houses. Cherry on top: entrance is free.
Key positive
Several good quality artworks
Free admission and centrally located
Key negative
None
Suitability
Most rooms in the 3 buildings are accessible. Children may not be very interested in the collections
