Museo de Arte Abstracto Español, Modern art museum in the medieval Hanging Houses, Cuenca, Spain
The Museo de Arte Abstracto Español exhibits over 500 paintings and sculptures in a restored complex perched on limestone cliffs above the Huécar River.
Fernando Zobel established this museum in 1966, selecting the centuries-old Casas Colgadas to display his collection of Spanish abstract artworks from the 1950s and 1960s.
The museum presents works by prominent Spanish artists including Antonio Saura, Eduardo Chillida, and Antoni Tàpies, representing the evolution of abstract art movements.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday with guided tours available in multiple languages, and visitors can purchase combined tickets for other cultural sites in Cuenca.
A large mural painted directly on the wall by Fernando Zóbel remains permanently displayed, demonstrating his experimental approach to abstract expression.
