The former Museo Municipal de Arte Contemporáneo – now referred to as simply the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo or museosdemadrid. Arte Contemporáneo – is located in the historic barracks of the Conde Duque, a building designed by the architect Pedro de Ribera at the beginning of the 18th century. Similar to other contemporary art museums, both national and foreign, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo has used a historic building to house the contemporary art collection, in this case of the Madrid city council. The Museum is further part of an ongoing programme of renovation to adapt it to use for cultural purposes.
The Museum showcases the works of art that the city council has been acquiring since 1980, the year in which the collection began. The Museum covers two floors over roughly 2,000 square metres. This space exhibits some 200 works by 177 artists from different periods and artistic tendencies in Spanish art, from the historic vanguards to date, through its collection of painting, sculpture, photography, graphic work and installations.

21st March to 27th May 2007
‘Salvador Bartolozzi (1882-1950). Dibujante castizo y cosmopolita’ adds to a series of exhibitions that the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo has dedicated to other representative figures of this rich and vast field of graphic illustration such as Delhy Tejero (1904-1968) and Enric Climent (1897-1980), two artists who shared space, time and ideas with Bartolozzi during that intense and splendid period in Madrid which is today considered a Silver Age of visual and literary culture in our country.
This exhibition showcases the different activities that Bartolozzi developed as illustrator in publications and editorials such as children’s literature, posters and as independent illustrator during his time in Paris, Madrid and Mexico.
The exhibition is structured along the following sections:
1. Cafés, taverns, tea houses and American bars
