FUNDACIÓ YANNICK
I BEN JAKOBER
The old water deposit of the estate has been transformed into an underground museum. The deposit has been equipped to house the collection “Nins”, which is formed by over 140 portraits of children from the 16th to the 19th century. The permanent collection is formed by 50 portraits.
In June 2006 the foundation opened a new permanent contemporary art exhibition on the first and second floors of the main building. The building was designed by Hassan Fathy and the collection contains pieces by Rebecca Horn, Domenico Gnoli, Vu Cao Dam, Meret Oppenheim, Miralda, Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu, among others.
Weather permitting, you can finish your visit with a walk along the “Parc d'Escultures” (sculpture park) with pieces by Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu.
