MUBA · Fine Arts Museum

MUBA offers a view of Extremadura through those who painted, sculpted or reinterpreted it. Its origins connect with provincial support for artists from the nineteenth century: scholarships, works sent back by recipients and donations helped build a public collection. The museum began in 1919 and opened its first galleries in January 1920. Its route includes Luis de Morales, Zurbarán, Eugenio Hermoso, Adelardo Covarsí and Juan Barjola, without reducing the region to one artistic style. Compare landscape, portraiture and scenes of everyday customs to discover how each period’s viewpoint changes. The collection occupies several connected buildings. Check which galleries are currently open, particularly given announced rehabilitation works, rather than assuming that every space in the complex is available during your visit.
