La Sala Recoletos de la Fundación MAPFRE ocupa el Palacio de la Duquesa de Medina de las Torres, un palacete de la década de 1880 situado en el Paseo de Recoletos, donde acoge desde 2008 el programa de exposiciones temporales de la fundación. Sus cerca de 1000 m² de salas albergan ambiciosas muestras con fondos prestados que abarcan la pintura y la escultura de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, así como la fotografía clásica y contemporánea.
