José Guerrero Center: exhibitions, schedules and free visit

The José Guerrero Center is an art space of the Granada Provincial Council located on Oficios Street, next to the area around the Cathedral and the Royal Chapel. Your visit combines exhibitions and the architecture of a building rehabilitated for museum use. General admission announced by the center is free; Check the schedule to find out what you will find on your date.

José Guerrero and the center’s collection

The official biography covers the training and international career of José Guerrero, born in Granada in 1914 and died in 1991, and explains the origin of the collection preserved by the center. His paintings allow us to observe how color and the relationships between shapes construct the space of the painting.

It begins with the cartouches: title, date, technique and context help distinguish stages and works. The collection of an institution does not mean that its entire collection is on display simultaneously. Check the official programming if you want to see a specific work or exhibition.

The building and the tour through the rooms

The history of the headquarters documents the building from 1892, its commercial and journalistic uses and the rehabilitation in 2000 by Antonio Jiménez Torrecillas, with the collaboration of Gustavo Torner. The project adapts the rooms to the exhibition and works on the entry of light and the relationship with the monumental environment.

Observe how the perception of space changes as you go up between rooms and how the architecture frames the city. Follow the indications of the exhibition and authorized areas: this page does not promise an open-access terrace, a “secret viewpoint” or a permanent chronological layout on all floors.

To take advantage of the tour, choose one or two works and compare what you see with the explanation on the poster before moving to another room. If you go with children, you can ask questions about shapes and colors without attributing to the artist an intention that the exhibition text does not document.
