Museo de Belas Artes da Coruña
A municipal fine arts museum housing works by Rubens and Goya prints alongside Galician painting, in a building that blends a former monastery with modern galleries.
Designed by architect Manuel Gallego, the museum combines the remains of an 18th-century Capuchin monastery with modern galleries, and has won a Spanish national architecture prize. The collection includes European paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries (works by Rubens, Tintoretto and others), Goya's complete print series, and works by 19th- and 20th-century Galician painters as well as ceramics. Admission is about €2.40; the museum is closed on Mondays. It sits on the north side of the city centre, about a 10-minute walk from Plaza de María Pita.
Opening hours
Tue–Fri 10 am–8 pm; Sat 10 am–2 pm and 4:30–8 pm; Sun 10 am–2 pm; closed Mondays
