Museum of Contemporary Art Helga de Alvear, Art museum in Cáceres, Spain.
The Museum of Contemporary Art Helga de Alvear is a modern art museum in Cáceres featuring custom architecture by Emilio Tuñón Arquitectos. The building uses white geometric forms and opens to garden areas that interrupt the exhibition spaces and connect with the surrounding city.
The museum was founded in 2010 and served for years as an important meeting point for contemporary art in the city. A new building was added in 2021, which expanded the collection and allowed the institution to display more works.
The collection displays contemporary works by artists from around the world, ranging from established names to lesser-known positions. As you walk through the exhibition rooms, you can discover various artistic approaches and materials on display.
Access is straightforward since the building sits directly in the city and can be reached on foot. The rooms are bright and clearly laid out so visitors can easily find their way without needing any special background knowledge.
The institution regularly hosts DJ evenings on the last Friday of the month, where art viewing blends with music. This unusual format makes the place where traditional museum experience and contemporary nightlife intersect.
