JOSE GONZALVO MUSEUM

The José Gonzalvo Museum is an art museum located in Rubielos de Mora, in the province of Teruel, Aragon, next to the Glorieta de los Olmos de Santa María. Its function is to gather and disseminate the work of the artist José Gonzalvo, born, linked and creator in this town, so the heritage resource is directly linked to the cultural identity of the town. Aragon's tourist information indicates that the museum was created in 2005 by an association of friends and admirers of the artist. It is, therefore, a contemporary cultural facility and not a monumental historic building in itself; the heritage value lies mainly in the museum content and in the preservation of Gonzalvo's artistic memory. Among the outstanding elements documented in the sources are works and references to the sculptural production of the author, with special interest in his work in iron and his presence in the urban landscape of Rubielos de Mora. The museum is part of the cultural resources of the municipality, complementing other heritage spaces and reinforcing the role of the town as an enclave of art and cultural tourism. The location provided, 40.19126, -0.64968, corresponds to the urban area of Rubielos de Mora and coincides with the tourist position of the resource. Due to its subject matter, it is a museum specialized in the figure of José Gonzalvo and in the dissemination of his work, with a patrimonial reading focused on local contemporary art.
