The Rodríguez Acosta Foundation
The carmen of the painter José Maria Rodríguez Acosta is where were gathered at the beginning of the 20th century his canvases and collections. To build the carmen he relied on the assistance of various architects but the design was fundamentally that of the painter. The architecture and garden are complex works, a mix of East and West. The Library- Musuem is made up of a mixture of works, a result of the collector inside the painter. At his wish, the carmen was used to promote the Arts and Sciences. The building has been declared a Historic Monument.
The Goméx-Moreno Institute is dedicated to the study of history. It is an annexe to the Rodriguez Acosta Foundation, and its name comes from a famous Spanish historian. Here you can find, among other works, canvases of Zurbarán.
