MUSAC is a space for culture that makes visible the links between people and nature.

View gallery

The MUSAC draws the art scene with the same optimistic attitude with which Roman surveyors traced cities on the landscape. The building is made up of a set of autonomous rooms that allow exhibitions of different sizes and characteristics to be held. Each broken room constructs a continuous but spatially differentiated space. On the outside, the public space takes on a concave shape enclosed by large coloured glass, where homage is paid to León Cathedral as a place of relationship between people and the city.
