Afundación Art Collection
The artistic heritage of a village reveals its culture and personality, it is the result of its creative genius throughout the evolution of history; for all this, the art that has emerged in Galicia combines cultural, aesthetic, emotional, personal and historical value. With this judgement as a basis, the Afundación Art Collection holds more than 5,000 works, mainly by Galician artists born in the 19th and 20th centuries, and tirelessly watches over their conservation and dissemination with the utmost commitment and rigour. The objective of Afundación Art Collection is to put in value the creativity, and the important contributions of the represented artists, with the intention of tracing with them a historical and plastic route by the art arisen from and in Galicia throughout last the two hundred years.
