The Museum of Fine Arts in Badajoz
Is characterised, at least, by the following peculiarities, which
constitute the personality of this museum and its identity.
The painting depicting regional customs; that which criticises
society and, really, the autochthonous nature of many of the works
define greatly the personality of the museum. It houses a lot
of works by foreign and national painters, specially from Extremadura,
who were awarded prizes in National and Foreign Exhibitions. This
is an aspect of great interest for the study and knowledge of
these artistic expressions in the 19th and 20th century.

MEIAC.Museum of Contemporany Art in Badajoz
The aim of the Museum is to make easy and to develop cultural
relationships through the contemporary art of the three geopolitical
worlds which are intertwined in Extremadura: Spain, Portugal and
Latin-America. In this sense it is the only one in the world.
As regards the buildings of the MEIAC, they are an example of
rehabilitating a building which at the beginning was not a Museum,
with the peculiarity that in this case it is not a temple or a
palace, which is the frequent case.
