The MEAM is the first museum with an outstanding collection on the international figurative art scene. Its main objective is to publicize a critical attitude towards the monotonous situation of contemporary art, in whose panorama no trend stood out other than abstraction, experimentation or destruction of form. The collection houses more than a thousand works by more than 300 international artists. Undoubtedly, one of the most prestigious collections of figurative art currently in the world, both for the quality of the work presented and for the diversity of its authors. All the works presented are by living artists creating the most genuine of the artistic production of our times. The MEAM has managed to generate a change of perspective in many art professionals, who are beginning to understand that the art of our century already needs new approaches and new goals, very disconnected from canons and topics inherited from the previous century.
