Centro de referencia para conocer la trayectoria de Carlos Pérez Siquier. Obras en gran formato tanto en blanco y negro como en color que reflejan distintas etapas del artista. Se complementa con aportaciones de otros grandes fotógrafos españoles del Siglo XX. Imprescindible también la entrada al Museo Casa Ibáñez una de las mayores colecciones de Arte Contemporáneo de Andalucía.

Ambos museos son gratuitos y merece la pena la excursión...
