Museum Jorge Rando (Museo Jorge Rando)

The basics

Jorge Rando’s vast canvases are on display in the museum's white galleries, lit from above by skylights. Alongside his paintings, temporary exhibitions of work by other Expressionists, including sculptures by German artist Ernst Barlach, change roughly every six months. You can find more sculptures in the museum’s small central courtyard, dominated by an ancient orange tree and a pink, life-size figure of a pregnant woman. Along with free guided tours, Museum Jorge Rando offers art movies, lectures, and the chance to peek into the ateliers of the artists working there.
