The MNAC, with women, with women artists,

always!

We are women 365 days a year

As every March, we join the 8M movement by championing women artists throughout the year. For years now, the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya has been working to give visibility to women who have been left out of art history and to restore them to the place they deserve.

The activities scheduled in March include the dance tours The Museum Dances in the Feminine; gender-focused tours You Should Have Been Women and One Artwork, 15 Minutes; and the family workshop Heroines. In addition, on Sunday, March 8, International Women’s Day, admission to the museum is free for all women.

On the Canal +MNAC, as well as on our social media, throughout this week you will find content explaining the work of reparation and remembrance aimed at placing women artists at the center.

Art against the oppression of Francoism

From 10 April onwards, some of the works that have recently entered the collection of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya can be seen in galleries 81 and 81 bis of the Modern Art section.

In gallery 81, under the title A Possible Modernity, visitors will discover how artists, despite the suffocating atmosphere of Francoism and the harshness of the immediate post-war years, continued to create in pursuit of an avant-garde language, with the group Dau al Set at its core.

Gallery 81 bis, entitled Between Introspection and Revolt, explores how women artists portrayed women during Francoism, within an authoritarian context marked by a total lack of rights. Altogether, the display features works by 15 women artists and 9 male artists.
