Santander and Cantabria Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art

The MAS occupies a building by Leonardo Rucabado opened in 1925 and brings together nearly 1,870 works including paintings, sculptures, photographs, engravings and installations. The visit ranges from 16th- to 18th-century pieces from the Spanish, Flemish and Italian schools to art from the 19th to the 21st centuries, with particular attention to Cantabrian artists. Highlights include the portrait of Ferdinand VII painted by Goya around 1814, the same artist's series of engravings La tauromaquia, Picasso's Vollard Suite and La muerte del toro by Umberto Pettinicchio. The collection is displayed over three floors, with a basement devoted to engravings, contemporary painting and temporary exhibitions.
