iFounded in 1955 by financier Juan March Ordinas, this family foundation's Madrid headquarters opened in 1975 in a marble-and-glass building by José Luis Picardo Castellón. It stages roughly two large-format art exhibitions a year, hosts chamber-music concerts and public lectures, and keeps a sculpture-filled patio with works by Chillida, Sempere, Chirino and Ortiz Berrocal. Every activity, including its exhibitions, is free to attend.

How Spanish audiences encountered modern and contemporary art from the 1960s to today, told through exhibitions, institutions and countercultural spaces.

A retrospective of Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, with drawings, models, paintings and textiles, co-organised with the Zentrum Paul Klee.

A 1977 wind-powered stainless-steel sculpture on the building's patio, its slow rotation exploring light, space and gentle rhythm.
A 1977 forged-iron spiral sculpture by Martín Chirino, named after a prehispanic Canary Island site rich in spiral petroglyphs.

A large 1975 patinated-bronze sculpture, cast in Verona, whose organic curved forms recall an umbilical cord or a giant piece of jewellery.
