About

The Fundación Eugenio Granell, housed in the elegant Pazo do Marqués de Bendaña in Santiago de Compostela, is a vibrant centre dedicated to the legacy of the Galician surrealist artist Eugenio Granell. Set within an 18th‑century Baroque palace in the heart of the old town, the museum offers a striking contrast between historic architecture and avant‑garde creativity. Its galleries display an extensive collection of Granell’s paintings, drawings, and objects, alongside works by other surrealist figures, creating a rich dialogue between imagination and artistic experimentation. The building’s ornate façade and central courtyard add to the experience, blending cultural heritage with modern expression. Temporary exhibitions, concerts, and cultural activities further animate the space, making it a dynamic hub for contemporary thought. The Fundación Eugenio Granell stands as a unique meeting point between tradition and surrealism, offering visitors an inspiring journey through one of Galicia’s most original artistic voices.
