Why go
MUBAG gives a focused view of painting, sculpture and decorative art linked to Alicante rather than an exhausting survey of European art. Landscapes, portraits, historical scenes and regional artists unfold inside Gravina Palace, whose stone rooms and restored domestic scale provide a strong contrast with a conventional white-cube gallery.
What to look for
- Look for 19th-century landscapes, portraits and historical scenes connected to Alicante.
- The restored Gravina Palace preserves the proportions and material character of an 18th-century residence.
- Works by artists including Antonio Gisbert and Joaquín Agrasot reveal regional links to wider Spanish trends.
Useful to know
- Allow about an hour for the permanent display, adding time for temporary exhibitions.
- Pair the museum with MACA to compare 19th-century art with the modern collections a short walk away.
- Continue to the Basilica of Santa María or Postiguet Beach rather than treating the museum as a separate district.
