Its heritage value is verified by its exhibition content and by its direct relationship with one of Tejeda's most representative creators, closely linked to the local cultural identity. The museum is part of Tejeda's patrimonial offer in an environment of strong landscape and cultural value, where the town combines historical resources, popular tradition and plastic arts. Its interest lies both in the work of Abraham Cárdenes and in its role as a space for artistic dissemination for the population and visitors.
