Artistic Culture of Andalucía Andalucía is rich in an artistic culture that dates back to prehistoric times and much of the art and artefacts have been preserved and are on display to the public. Art can be found in many forms throughout Andalucía, not only in private or municipal galleries, but also in museums, cultural centres, historic buildings, churches and even in the open air. Andalucía is now recognising its fantastic cultural legacy as never before, and it also takes pride in the wealth of modern artists who will become its future heritage. Art not only comprises paintings and sculpture, photography or engraving, it also encompasses the traditions and customs of the different civilisations that settled in Andalucía through the ages. So there are also numerous exhibitions relating to horsemanship, bullfighting, flamenco, pottery and even olive oil. The galleries throughout Andalucía are dedicated to varied media and so many of them are world class. In the city of Málaga there is the Málaga Picasso Museum honouring the famous artist who was born in the city, and also the Centro de Arte Contemporaneo de Málaga (CAC), an internationally renowned contemporary art centre. The city of Almería has its Centro Andaluz de la Fotografia and in the city of Cádiz there is the Fundacion Rafael Alberti, housing a large collection of the poet’s work. There is an exhibition in the city of Granada devoted solely to the scientific knowledge of the Moors during their eight century rule of Al Andalus. In the city of Huelva there is a very interesting exhibition describing the culture of different local civilisations and their relationship with the Atlantic Ocean. Ancient Iberian art can be seen in the city of Jaén, the art of flamenco in the city of Sevilla and there is even an exhibition on bullfighting in the city of Córdoba.
