Temporary Exhibitions
With this ticket, you can also visit the following temporary exhibitions:
Minor White (June 17 to September 6, 2026)
Minor White (Minneapolis, 1908–1976) was a key figure in 20th-century American photography, both for his innovative work and his role as an educator and co-founder of Aperture magazine. He developed a highly personal photographic language structured around sequences, without parallel in the history of photography. This exhibition, the first retrospective of his work in Europe, offers a comprehensive overview of his output across genres, including portrait, landscape, and nude, and includes previously unseen materials that reveal the technical and poetic dimensions of an artist who placed photography at the center of the modern art debate.
Joaquín Tusquets de Cabirol: Eloquent Form (June 17 to September 6, 2026)
Joaquín Tusquets de Cabirol (Barcelona, 1904–1979), a chemist by profession and a photographer of lucid vision, developed a body of work shaped by an aesthetic sensibility nurtured in a family environment close to the arts. This exhibition, produced by Fundación Mapfre in collaboration with Fundación Photographic Social Vision, offers a unique view of post-war Catalonia through prints of extraordinary technical quality. Framed within the KBr's programming dedicated to Catalan photographic archives, the show rescues the work of a key figure for understanding the transition toward photographic modernity and the mastery of chemical printing processes.
