The MUBAG sits inside the Palace of the Count of Lumiares, an 18th-century building in the old town of Alacant. Entry to the permanent collection is free, which makes it one of the best no-spend art plans in the city.
The collection
It gathers Alicante painting and sculpture from the 16th century to the early 20th, with the 19th century well represented. Local masters fill the rooms: Antonio Gisbert, painter of vast history canvases, alongside Emilio Sala and Joaquín Agrasot — three names that help you read the painting of this coast.
The building
The palace itself rewards a look, its 18th-century courtyards, staircases and halls framing the works. It stands a few steps from the MACA, so you can pair classical painting with 20th-century art in a single morning. For more free ideas, see our no-spend plans.
