Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Florencio de la Fuente
A museum beside the Cuesta del Ángel, in the heart of the historic quarter, gathering a donation by collector Florencio de la Fuente with work by major names of 20th-century Spanish art such as Miró, Dalí, Tàpies, Mompó, Torner, Miquel Navarro and Valdés. Paintings, sculptures and prints are spread over several floors with the aim of bringing contemporary art to a wider public.
Finding work by Miró, Dalí and Tàpies in the old town of Requena is a surprise, and it comes down to one donation: that of collector Florencio de la Fuente. The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Florencio de la Fuente sits beside the Cuesta del Ángel, in the Barrio de la Villa.
What you can see
The collection brings together leading names of 20th-century Spanish art: alongside Miró, Dalí and Tàpies there are pieces by Mompó, Torner, Miquel Navarro and Valdés. It spreads over several floors of paintings, sculptures and prints, with the aim of bringing contemporary art to anyone passing through the town.
Planning the visit
The narrow streets around the museum are part of the appeal: this is one of the prettiest corners of the old quarter. If you like art in small towns, it fits a day trip from València and pairs well with the Wine Museum at the Palacio del Cid.
