About Museo Gregorio Prieto
Art inside a Valdepeñas manor house
The Museo Gregorio Prieto occupies a 17th-century manor house in Valdepeñas, the artist's hometown. The setting lends the visit a domestic scale, while the collection opens onto a varied career that included painting, drawing, photography, and collage. The museum is managed by the nonprofit Gregorio Prieto Foundation.
Prieto's work is shown alongside pieces and documents connected to other figures in Spain's Generation of 27, including Federico García Lorca and Rafael Alberti. The museum also presents the winning works of its long-running drawing competition, as well as temporary exhibitions and cultural events. It offers an especially useful portrait of how one artist's practice moved across mediums and through the artistic circles of his time.
