Exhibition: 'Recovered from the Enemy'

The National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC) presents a new exhibition titled 'Recovered from the Enemy', which continues its exploration of the Spanish Civil War began with previous projects. The exhibition sheds light on a remarkable collection of artworks originating from deposits made by the Francoist regime's National Heritage Defense Service (SDPAN) during and after the conflict. These works, stored in several museums, remained largely unknown until now, prompting a deeper investigation into their origins and ownership. Through thorough research and insights, the exhibition aims to present these pieces to the public for the first time, curated with expertise from Gemma Domènech and Eduard Caballé. By understanding this aspect of our historical narrative, we confront the complexities of cultural ownership and heritage preservation during a time of conflict.
