Institut Valencià d'Art Modern

The Institut Valencià d'Art Modern is an art museum in Valencia's Carmen district that spreads across multiple levels and displays works of modern and contemporary artists. The spaces are arranged so visitors can journey through different artistic movements and techniques.

The museum was established in the 1980s to provide institutional space for modern art. It played an important role in re-evaluating contemporary artistic creation in Spain.

The museum displays works by local and European artists working from the early 20th century onward. Visitors can follow the evolution of modern art movements through its galleries.

The museum is accessible by public transportation and sits in a lively neighborhood with cafés and restaurants nearby. Plan at least two to three hours to view the exhibitions at a comfortable pace.

Visitors can see a preserved wall from the 14th century within the museum, part of the city's former defenses. This unexpected sight connects the city's history with contemporary artworks.
