Fundación Masaveu has a cute little exhibition space in a quiet street in Madrid where my sister took me to on a rainy afternoon this past Christmas.

The Masaveu family fortune started with a textile shop in Oviedo, but grew to build a cement factory, a bank, etc., etc. They are rooted in Asturias, but obviously have this outpost in Madrid.

They had a few exhibitions running which were fascinating. One was on 18^th C paintings of flowers and a bigger one on Luis Fernández, a XX C Spanish painter. Beyond the exhibits, there is an intriguing massive Jaume Plensa statue in a tiny patio.

Unfortunately, they do not allow photos in the building, so I dutifully complied, you can see the photos from their website here.

Yes, I know I am always writing about how culturally enriching it is to live in a city. Here is another testament to my statement!

So, if you are in Madrid, and you want to discover a great little (free) exhibition space, try this one! You are welcome.
