Overview

  • The Valencian Consell approved a framework loan agreement with the Hispanic Society of America to bring Sorolla paintings to a new museum-exhibition space in the Palacio de las Comunicaciones.
  • The loan will span roughly 100 Sorolla paintings over an initial four years, extendable by another four, and excludes the 'Visión de España' panels.
  • An estimated €15 million will be invested to adapt and equip the former postal headquarters for a mid-2026 public debut.
  • President Carlos Mazón and HSA director Guillaume Kientz will formally sign the agreement in Valencia this Thursday.
  • The HSA’s financial constraints have underpinned negotiations as the partnership seeks to bolster Valencia’s international cultural standing and tourism.
