Galicia Contemporary Art Center, Art museum in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
The Galicia Contemporary Art Center occupies a minimalist granite building designed by Portuguese architect Alvaro Siza near the San Domingos de Bonaval convent.
The museum, inaugurated in 1993, emerged from Spain's 1980s cultural policy aimed at positioning Galicia within international artistic networks.
The center presents major contemporary art exhibitions featuring both established international artists and emerging Galician creators through its continuous program since 1995.
Located at Valle Inclán Street 2, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 20:00, offering free admission and complete wheelchair accessibility.
The museum building integrates modern architectural elements with the historical surroundings, including a former cemetery transformed into a garden by Alvaro Siza.
