Museo de Bellas Artes

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

What are drawings and a painting by a Scottish artist, David Roberts, doing in the Museo de Belas Artes in A Coruna? There is a mystery. There is also a copy of Van Dyke's famous triple portrait. The Museum has a good selection of 17th and 18th European art, mainly Spanish and many on loan from the Prado in Madrid, plus a focus on Galician art of the 19th century onwards, with an gallery showing an extensive display of prints by Goya and another of ceramics from the local factory Sargadelos. The museum moved in 1995 to its new building designed by the Galician architect Manuel Gallego Jorreto, located in part of the 18th century Capuchin Sisters Convent, the church of which is still in use - quite a contrast between the two parts of the same complex. Well worth visiting, the staff are helpful there is a guide in English and admission is free. There is also a temporary exhibition gallery with a changing series of exhibitions.

Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

The two adjacent buildings are strange bedfellows - on one side of the narrow street is the dark sombre stonework of the old Convent of San Domingos de Bonaval (part of which is now the Museo del Pueblo Gallego), enlivened by the architectural detailing around the doorways, and dating back to 1228, the inside being less exuberant and more restrained than some of the other monasteries in Santiago with their Baroque richness; - on the other side the dark sombre worn concrete of the Galician Contemporary Art Museum (GGAC) designed by the well-known modernist Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza who has was awarded the Mies Van der Rohe prize in 1988 and the Pritzker prize in 1992. If you can I recommend that you visit both (but check opening times). You can see the chapel inside the Convent without paying the admission fee to the museum itself. The CGAC's series of interconnected spacious galleries on the upper floors with more intimate spaces below allows it to run a programme of changing exhibitions with a flow through the building, starting and returning to the main entrance with a focus on strengthening Galicia as an international centre for contemporary and also showing art that connects to social issues of our time. Currently the visitors flows through four different and fascinating exhibition, one 'We Refugees' focused on Immigration - not making political statements, but reflecting on the reality of the harsh life for immigrants and for refugees who have greater international protection -, one showing installation works by the artist Angela Ferreira whose work links to issues in Africa and another by Christian Villamide which focuses on how humans have lost the connectivity with their natural environment. A fourth installation of photographs and video by Max de Esteban explores digital technology and its impact on people and cities. If you have an interest in contemporary art, it is well worth making the journey to visit the Centre.

Museo Man de Camelle

Owned and managed by the municipal authority, it is located at the pier of Ca­melle. lt opened on June 5 th 2015 and its main objective lies in protecting, preser­ving and spreading the artistic and personal legacy of Manfred Gnadinger, known by everyone as Man, the German of Ca­melle (Bóhringer, Germany 1936 - Cama­riñas - A Coruña - 2002). Undertook a journey from his native Germany that brought him to Camelle, where he stayed forever. lt was 1961 and he was twenty five years old. After approximately a decade living in a prívate house, he built his own house of tiny dimen­sions in a rocky area far off from the village where he started to develop his work: his gar­den-museum. Little by little he started parting with his externa! appearance and shaping the image that would characterize him forever. He decided to live alone,becoming one with nature, in the purest way possible.
