Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias

It is currently housed in a series of buildings located in the historic centre of Oviedo/Uviéu: the Palacio de Velarde (1765), designed by the architect Manuel Reguera, which connects with a building used for offices; the Casa de Oviedo-Portal (1660), built by Melchor de Velasco, and the extension building, designed by Francisco Mangado and inaugurated in 2015. In total, more than 4,500 square metres of exhibition space in which to showcase the rich artistic heritage it treasures.

The Museum's collection is made up of more than 15,000 pieces from the 14th century to the present day and includes a varied representation of painting, sculpture, works on paper (drawing and engraving), photography and applied and industrial arts (especially glass and earthenware).

The collection includes works by Asturian, national and international artists such as El Greco, Reni, Zurbarán, Murillo, Carreño de Miranda, the Menéndez saga, Kauffmann, Goya, Pérez Villaamil, Pinazo, Menéndez Pidal, Uría, Sorolla, Regoyos, Valle, Piñole, Picasso, Dalí, Miró, Tápies and Barceló, among many others.

It is an open collection, which increases every year thanks to acquisitions, donations, deposits and other formulas such as endowments, with the deposits from the Prado and Reina Sofía museums, as well as the endowment of the Pedro Masaveu Collection, standing out within the latter two modalities.
