Video installations are screened in the underground cellar, and the reconstructed office of Spanish writer Ramón Gómez de la Serna is a distinctive permanent feature. Entry is free or inexpensive, depending on the exhibition, and a visit takes around 45 minutes.

Reviews

This is a wonderful building which used to be a barracks and has now been converted into exhibition spaces and offices. There were three main exhibitions when I was there and they were wonderful. The reproduction of the study of writer Ramon Gomez de la Serna is amazing. This is a free museum and well worth the visit.
