The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Esteban
Vicente houses the extraordinary collection of works donated by
Esteban Vicente (Turégano, 1903 - Long Island, 2001), the
only Spanish member of the first generation of the New York School
of Abstract Expressionism in America. The exhibition of this Permanent
Collection alternates with temporary exhibitions and cultural activities
such as lectures, recitals and concerts.
The museum is located in the medieval palace of King Henry IV,
of the Trastamara family, whose construction dates back to 1445.
In addition to its five exhibition spaces, the visitor can also
enjoy its Renaissance chapel with its Hispano-Moorish carved wooden
ceiling, currently the auditorium of the museum, and the garden
where Esteban Vicente´s ashes repose and the garden where Harriet and Esteban Vicente's ashes repose.
The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Esteban Vicente has become
an important point of reference for every visitor to Segovia,
a city whose entire historical and cultural legacy has been designated
by the UNESCO as a World Historical Heritage Site.
