Overview
- The presentation spans the entire fourth floor with three itineraries and 21 chapters, displaying 403 works by 224 artists, including 258 pieces not previously shown on this level.
- The reordering centers politically charged themes such as feminism, HIV/AIDS, decolonization, queer and gender perspectives, activism, migration and race in a flexible, revisable narrative.
- Spanish artists make up about 77% of those exhibited and women account for roughly 35%, reflecting recent acquisitions from 2024 to 2026 and a stated emphasis on living creators.
- Visitor experience changes include expanded didactic texts, a new display by Xabier Salaberría and Patxi Eguiluz, graphic design by Hermanos Berenguer, portable seating and other design updates.
- The overhaul marks Segade’s first full imprint on the collection display, removes the 15-M protest banners and launches a multi-year rollout with the third floor planned for 2027 and an avant-gardes floor in 2028.
