Year Murillo in the Archivo de Indias

This exhibition will show three works by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, which have been donated by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando: La Magdalena penitente and Éxtasis de San Francisco de Asís, which have been restored before the exhibition by the Institute of Cultural Heritage of Spain (IPCE) of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, and the third work exhibited will be Resurrección del Señor, which will be restored once this exhibition ends.

A new exhibition will be added in the autumn with another work by Murillo also donated by the Royal Academy of San Fernando, San Diego de Alcalá dando de comer a los pobres.

The Exhibition of Murillo in the Archivo de Indias is part of what is called the Social Alliance for Culture, which aims to enrich the cultural offer of the country, thanks to the collaboration between institutions and administrations.

This exhibition is part of the planned programming around the figure of Murillo. Other initiatives within this programming would be the exhibition in the Espacio de Santa Clara or the routes through the city.
