Description

The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Fernando Centeno López is a contemporary art museum located in Genalguacil, in the province of Málaga, within the cultural project known as Genalguacil Pueblo Museo. Its location corresponds to the urban center of the municipality, in an exhibition space linked to the artistic transformation of the town and the conservation of works created for its Art Encounters. It was inaugurated in 2004 and, according to the local sources consulted, was born to house and protect contemporary works that could not remain outdoors. In 2012 it was renamed the Fernando Centeno Museum of Contemporary Art, in homage to Fernando Centeno López, promoter of the Art Encounters and mayor of the municipality for two decades. The building occupies an old renovated mill, a relevant fact to understand its adaptation to museum use. The building houses a collection of works contributed by artists participating in the Art Encounters, integrating a permanent exhibition and temporary exhibits, and has become one of the cultural landmarks of Genalguacil. Its heritage value lies not only in the collection, but also in its role as the centerpiece of a unique model of museum-village, where contemporary art forms part of the local identity and of the tourist itinerary of the municipality.
