The museums reveal universal history.

The MUSAC, located in the city of León, fundamental piece in the development of Contemporary Art on a national and international scope, and clear exponent of a new cultural stage, in which aesthetic values and artistic behaviour that were considered revolutionary in the past have already become well-established.


They are usually housed in large, elegant buildings, like that of the Museo Nacional de Escultura Policromada, in Valladolid, the Casa Lis in Salamanca or the Museo de las Armas located in the Alcázar de Segovia.

With these traditional monuments are the new avantguarde museums with their pure lines, such as the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Patio Herreriano de Valladolid. Museums are ultimately places which serve to bring the culture of the people closer to the people.
