Un nuevo faro cultural para iluminar Santander
Tras su remodelación, el nuevo museo de la Fundación Banco Santander abre sus puertas a la ciudad con obras de maestros históricos como El Greco, Tiziano, Velázquez o Goya y artistas modernos como Chillida, Miró o Picasso
Santander now boasts a new cultural landmark. Unlike its maritime counterpart, this beacon gazes upon the city streets. The former Santander Bank building on Pereda Promenade has transformed into a cultural space, aiming to illuminate the heart of the bay and usher in a new chapter for the city. Santander's cultural initiative emerges from the refurbished historical edifice, constructed within by architect David Chipperfield.
The complex spans over 10,000 square meters, with approximately 3,000 dedicated to exhibitions. This ambitious project aspires to become Santander's newest cultural beacon, swiftly establishing a high-value museum zone within a confined space. Concurrently, the Banco Santander is poised to host the Centro Botín, the future Mupac (Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology), and the Lafuente Archive.
