Carlos Maside Museum

Monument · Sada, Coruña, A Coruña

The Museo Galego de Arte Contemporánea Carlos Maside occupies, at the Castro de Samoedo (Osedo, Sada), a building of hexagonal modules arranged around a central module, within the former premises of Cerámicas do Castro. It was founded in 1970 under the auspices of the Laboratorio de Formas, created in 1963 by Luís Seoane and Isaac Díaz Pardo, from donations by the founders themselves, with the aim of rescuing the work of Galicia's renewalist artists. Its first two floors hold the best collection of Galician art from the first half of the 20th century, with works by Carlos Maside himself alongside those of Castelao, Maruja Mallo, Francisco Asorey, Laxeiro and Luís Seoane, among others, while the top floor is devoted to humorous drawing. Since 1985 it has been named the Museo Galego de Arte Contemporánea.
