Free exhibition gives voice to an art

Travel through the Amazon without leaving Madrid: this free exhibition gives voice to an art as unknown as it is unique

With more than 80 works, the exhibition intertwines nature, creativity and tradition

Whether permanent exhibitions such as those at the Museo del Prado or the Museo Reina Sofía, or temporary exhibitions, art is undoubtedly one of the most important cultural pillars of the capital. Exhibitions with creative proposals are constantly arriving in Madrid, as is the case of the new exhibition that has landed at the Museo Lázaro Galdiano, 'Contemporary Amazonia. Hochschild Correa Collection - Peru'.

Curated by Christian Bendayán and Luis Pérez Oramas, the exhibition will be available until April 6, 2025. With more than 80 works by 30 artists from the Peruvian Amazon, the aim of the exhibition is to explore this little-known world, where nature, creativity and tradition are intertwined. The exhibition offers a journey through different generations, emphasizing the history of contemporary Amazonian art.

Based in Lima (Peru), the Hochschild Correa Collection features objects and works ranging from the pre-Columbian period to the present, focusing on modern and contemporary Peruvian and Latin American art, as well as a body of contemporary work by artists from the Peruvian Amazon region. It has come to gather more than 3,000 objects, including nearly 600 Peruvian and international artists.

The exhibition opens its doors from Tuesday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. With free admission, you can also enjoy a guided tour, upon reservation, at 6:00 p.m. (Fridays) and 12:00 p.m. (Sundays).
