Overview

• Muelle 3 in Parc Central, a Bien de Relevancia Local site designed by Demetrio Ribes, will house the new venue.
• The Espai Manolo Valdés will grant free admission and showcase about 30 large-scale sculptures by the Valencian artist.
• The protocol secures an initial ten-year loan of the works, renewable in successive five-year extensions.
• A public tender set for September or October will initiate museum-grade adaptations, including building enclosure, interior reorganization and climate control.
• The project complements Valencia’s broader cultural tourism strategy alongside municipal initiatives like the Museo del Mar and the Santo Cáliz interpretation center.
