For more than three decades, Fundación MAPFRE has been one of the focal points of Madrid's cultural agenda for its exhibitions of Fine Arts and Photography. Its program includes painting and sculpture exhibitions focused on the great protagonists (Renoir, Van Gogh, Picasso, Degas, Chagall, etc.) and the main movements of artistic modernity (Impressionism, Avant-garde, Surrealism, etc.). The Photography exhibitions also range from the great masters of the 20th century (Atget, Evans, Winogrand, Strand...) to those who represent the best expression of artistic photography today. The Foundation is located in the Palace of the Duchess of Medina de las Torres, built between 1881 and 1884, a building very representative of architecture.
