Coruña Fine Arts Museum

The Coruña Fine Arts Museum is an art museum in A Coruña that displays over 5,000 artworks arranged across nine permanent gallery spaces with paintings, sculptures, prints, ceramics, and decorative arts from different eras. The collection is housed in the renovated spaces of a former Capuchin convent and offers a broad view of artistic traditions.

The museum was founded in 1922 and moved to its current building in 1995, a renovated 18th-century Capuchin convent designed by architect Manuel Gallego Jorreto. This relocation allowed a major art collection to be presented within a historic structure.

The collection features works by Spanish masters such as Juan de Juanes and Murillo alongside Galician artists including Sotomayor, Colmeiro, and Laxeiro. These pieces reflect the artistic development of the region and the broader Spanish tradition.

The museum is located on Zalaeta Street and operates with extended hours on weekdays while weekend access has different times. Admission is free, making it an accessible option for all visitors.

The museum maintains dedicated spaces for Francisco Goya's engravings and holds a specialized collection of Sargadelos ceramic productions. These focused collections offer visitors insight into specific artistic achievements often overlooked in broader museum tours.
