    Information

    The gallery is a multifunctional space covering an area of 2,800 square metres, enclosed by means of a sophisticated glass structure comprising over 2,000 glass triangles, all different from one another, at a height of 30 metres. In the 17th Century, it was part of the area surrounding Buen Retiro Palace, and later, in the 19th Century, it housed a recreational garden.
