Spanish Abstract Art Museum. Juan March Foundation

This museum is situated in the Casas Colgadas in the city and is, in my opinion an essential visit if you are in Cuenca. it houses abstract and modern art and there are just so many wonderful pieces to see. the collection is extensive and varied. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the city

This place is amazing. We went in, not expecting much, and spent over an hour (and I've not previously been an abstract art fan)...and it's free! Highly recommended to add this to your Cuenca itinerary. Inside, they've renovated but have spaces where they've preserved the history (ie frescoes that had been covered by plaster). So neat to see the inside and all the amazing art from Spanish abstract artists.

Lovely experience. You get to see great Spanish abstract art, and get to know the inside and the architecture of a hanging house

Located in the Casas Colgadas, the wooden buildings hanging over the cliffs of the Huécar River, this museum offers stunning views. In 1961, Fernando Zóbel began searching for a suitable location for an abstract art museum, and in 1963, his friend and native of Cuenca, Gustavo Torner, suggested this site. The museum opened in 1966, initially showcasing Zóbel’s collection. The selection of works was focused on quality rather than quantity, with the exhibition layout designed to better express both European abstract art and Spain's unique artistic direction. After an expansion in 1978, the museum reopened that same year. Since Zóbel's donation in 1980, the museum has been managed by the Juan March Foundation, which has continued to expand the collection. Today, the museum houses over 1,500 pieces in its collection.

Free museum in Cuenca, right in the center of Cuenca near the bridge. Love the history of the museum; love reading about the hanging house where the museum itself located. The mural inside the museum dated back to 15th century. It’s interesting seeing abstract art exhibits in the historical building; excellent combination!

This fascinating modern art museum was founded in 1966 by artist Fernando Zöbel to house his extensive collection. In 1980 he donated it to the March Foundation which has looked after it ever since and made many new acquisitions. It was the first ever museum of its kind in Spain and is housed in the 4 remaining 'Casas Colgadas' (literally the Hung Houses). There were originally eleven.

Maybe my favorite museum I’ve been to in a long time. Much bigger than it looks from the outside, amazing curation, and the perfect place to experience the views of Cuenca from!!! 10/10

Must see! The building is incredible and the art works very interesting! Admission free!
