Overview
- Construction has started with a 15‑month schedule, with completion projected for May 2027.
- The museum will move from the town hall basement to a restored protected manor in the same plaza, offering roughly 398–400 m² across two floors plus space for installations.
- The €3.5 million project is financed through the Regional Investment Program (PIR) 2022/26 and managed by the public company Planifica Madrid.
- The collection comprises 75 works tied to Picasso and his friend Eugenio Arias—drawings, graphics, ceramics, and dedicated books—alongside André Villers’ photographs and a bust by F. Aguilar, with a stipulation to remain exhibited in Buitrago.
- Regional ministers Miguel Ángel García Martín and Mariano de Paco Serrano visited the site, presenting the upgrade as a catalyst for cultural tourism built on roughly 40,000 annual visitors.
