University of Alicante Museum
MUA
Its unique architecture and museographic approach make it a one-of-a-kind space that blends temporary exhibitions of contemporary art, science, and heritage. The MUA houses an outstanding collection of works by renowned artists such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, Eduardo Chillida, and Eusebio Sempere. It has established itself as a hub for cultural exchange, education, and dialogue. Each year, it attracts thousands of visitors who participate in a wide variety of activities, including educational workshops, guided tours, seminars, conferences, and academic events. The MUA also serves as a space for experimentation and reflection on contemporary artistic creation, hosting events such as Corporea, focused on the representation of the human body, and Mulier, Mulieris, which explores the feminine universe through visual arts. In addition to hosting academic and congress-related events, the MUA offers educational programs that foster creativity, participation, and respect for art in all its forms. This makes it a benchmark for the educational community and an open space for audiences of all ages.
