Pablo Serrano Museum (IAACC)

20 Paseo de María Agustín, Zaragoza, Aragón

Description

The Pablo Serano Museum or IAACC (Instituto Aragonés de Arte y Cultura Contemporáneos) is a center dedicated to modern and contemporary art. The original reconverted building was expanded in 2007-11 based on a design by architect Pérez Latorre. The collection was seeded by works from the Aragonese sculptor Pablo Serrano and grew over time to include paintings by Santiago Lagunas, contemporary graphic art and, in 2013, the addition of the private collection Circa XX that broadened the scope in time by several decades and in terms of nationalities. The centre also hosts temporary exhibitions.

Access & Transport

Address: #20 Paseo María Agustín. There are many bus services stopping along that street, the Plaza Aragón tram station is 500m away and the Goya train station exactly 1km away (10-15mins walk).

Instructions & Recommendations

A visit to the IAACC is well combined (geographically / logistically) with the Aljafería Palace.

Meta review

Some mixed online reviews (including many fakes) for this museum that most visitors agree stand out possibly more for its look and architecture (with modern facilities inside) rather than by its content which draws heterogeneous comments. As usual for contemporary art, some find it intellectually stimulating but others clearly take the view that many of the pieces have nothing to do with art and should not be subsidized. Recurring comments about the staff being polite and helpful.

Environmental & Social

Some environment impact to run the museum (mostly electricity). Positive from a social perspective by helping spread culture and the arts

Conclusion

One to recommend to modern and contemporary art lovers only (or residents and those with extra days in the city) considering how inconsistent the standard of artworks is.

Key positive

Striking external design and large interior spaces

Free admission

Key negative

Not many artworks of high quality

Suitability

Best for adults and children aged 15 and above Accessible to visitors with reduced mobility
