The Aragonese Institute of Contemporary Art and Culture may look more like a giant transformer than an art gallery, but that’s exactly what it is. The centre is dedicated to modern and contemporary art, showcasing works from the greats, including Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder and Andy Warhol. The centre is most well known, however, for housing a vast collection of pieces by the Aragonese sculptor Pablo Serrano (1908 – 1985).

Galería A del Arte

The Galería A del Arte is located right in the heart of the city and has been around for the last ten years. It showcases a range of changing contemporary art exhibitions, which feature everything from painting and sculpture to photography. It displays works by local artists including Natalio Bayo, Teresa Salcedo and Paco Algaba.
