The Várez Fisa Room, crowned with a coffered ceiling from the church of Santa Marina de Valencia de Don Juan (León), houses a group of works donated last January, along with other four from the Várez Fisa collection on long-term deposit at the Museum.
The room, designed by architect Rafael Moneo, is located within the new location of the collections of Spanish paintings from the Romanesque to the Renaissance.
The room accommodates not only the set of works donated recently, but also the Altarpiece of San Cristobal, received from the same family in 1970, a panel by Lluís Borrassà acquired by the state, and four other tables also from the family collection.
The Várez Fisa Room (previously Room 52 A) enriches and complements styles and authors already represented in the Museum, but it also fills some gaps in the Museum collection of Spanish painting and sculpture, particularly those relating to the Crown of Aragon, reflecting the origin of the collections of the Museum itself.
