Museo La Neomudéjar — Attraction in Madrid

What a wonderful art space. I have visited many museums in Spain over the past 4 months. Some were special, like this one, some awful, especially those that put modern visual art inside the classical room's with their 4 white walls. Neomudejar is an edgy old factory location ( I am pretty old so I am happy to admit I worked in factories like this) and well, the aging space compliments and brings out the art so much better.

For an Art space claiming to be vanguardist and to support young artist, their attitude was rather mercantilist,...

An alternative venue that promotes up and coming artists, mainly working with graffiti and politically conscious art, providing them with a large space to showcase their artwork as well as offering them residencies.
