Goya Museum in Castres

‘The Goya Museum is home to some remarkable works by the greatest Spanish artists. While the museum's programme focuses on the famous Golden Age and the works of Goya, it also reserves an equally important place for the arts of the 19th, 20th and now 21st centuries, thanks to new loans of works’.

The Musée Goya in Castres houses one of the largest collections of Hispanic art in France, dating from the Middle Ages to the present day. Housed in a completely renovated former bishop's palace, this collection is now accessible to a wide public. In enlarged spaces and a completely redesigned museographic tour, the museum will be exhibiting nearly 600 works, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, weapons and coins. Visitors will be able to see works by Pacheco, Velázquez, Murillo, Goya and Picasso, as well as new works by contemporary artists.

Two partnerships, one with the Centre National des Arts Plastiques, which will bring artists such as Daniel Vasquez Diaz, Manolo Valdés, Manolo Millares and José María Sicilia to Castres for the first time, and the other with Les Abattoirs, Musée - Frac Occitanie, which will complement the exhibition with major artists from Spain's contemporary art scene: Miquel Barceló, Pilar Albarracín, Daniel Andújar, Equipo Crónica and Antonio Saura. Two imaginary portraits of Philip II by Antonia Saura and a silkscreen by Equipo Crónica complete this exceptional loan.
