Featuring more than 50 masterpieces by Monet, the father of Impressionism, on loan from the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris, this exhibition illustrates the entire artistic career of the master through the works to which the painter himself was most attached, works he considered “his and his alone” and which he lovingly safeguarded in his home in Giverny until his death, works from which he never wanted to be separated from, including his famous and iconic Water Lilies.

The museum has lent the exhibition such outstanding works as Portrait of Michel Monet Wearing a Hat with a Pompon (1880), The Train in the Snow. The Locomotive (1875) or London. Parliament. Reflections on the Thames (1905), not to mention such large-format paintings as his captivating Water Lilies (1917-1920) or his evanescent Wisteria 1919-1920).

The exhibition has been organised by CentroCentro and Arthemisia in collaboration with the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris.

The Landscape of Light Interpretation Centre has been designed to provide information on the values that have earned this unique cultural landscape a place on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

Through panels, videos and tablets, it introduces visitors to the history, art, nature, science, the universal model and everything that bestows the Landscape of Light with an Outstanding Universal Value. In addition, the model of the Landscape of Light, on which a video mapping is projected, traces the evolution of the heritage site through the centuries.

Every six months, a guest institution (one of the institutions located in the Landscape of Light) donates a number of works from its collection so that we can learn more about the great value that they all hold within their walls.

Curated by Jacobo Armero, this exhibition tells the story of the life and times of a building, the Cibeles Palace, from its conception to the present day, with the aim of highlighting its architectural, urban and symbolic dimensions.

Designed by the architects Palacios and Otamendi in the first decade of the 20th century, the Cibeles Palace was destined from the outset to become the main protagonist of the iconography of Madrid and indeed Spain.

Although this symbolic function of the architectural monument has remained intact in the popular imagination from its inauguration in 1919 to the present day, its internal use has undergone a transformation. Correos, the Post Office that occupied a special place in the hearts of the people of Madrid for almost 90 years, became the Cibeles Palace when the institutional headquarters of the Madrid City Council moved here in 2007 and the CentroCentro cultural centre opened in 2011.

The exhibition, which occupies floors 2 and 4 of the building and the CentroCentro Viewpoint, is based, on the one hand, on the actual edifice itself, which becomes the main work on display, and, on the other, on the historiographical material that gives shape to its biography: technical documents, images, opinions, the historical events it has witnessed…

Madrid through Dance is an exhibition curated by Massimiliano Casu that traces the relationship between dance and the city of Madrid from prehistoric times to the present day.

Through photographs, audiovisuals, publications, archive material, installations, musical instruments and even a dance floor, the exhibition takes us on a leisurely journey through centuries of cultural and political production, providing an insight into a city that has been built to the rhythm of pavanes, sarabandes, chotis, rigadons, techno anthems and reggaeton.
