Alcorcón Glass Art Museum

The Alcorcón Glass Art Museum (MAVA) is a hidden gem for contemporary art lovers. Located in the Castillo Grande de Valderas, this museum immerses us in a universe of color and light, where glass is transformed into a creative tool without limits.

The MAVA was born in 1997 thanks to the initiative of the sculptor Javier Gómez, who dreamed of creating a space dedicated to showcasing the infinite possibilities of glass in contemporary art. His vision became a reality thanks to the generosity of collectors such as Takako Sano and Aldo Bellini, who donated part of their collections to the museum.

The MAVA's permanent collection is made up of more than 200 works by artists from around the world. Sculptures, installations and artistic objects created with glass in all its forms: blown, cast, flat... Each piece is a masterpiece that invites us to reflect on light, transparency and fragility.

The MAVA is not only a museum, but also a center for experimentation and creation. Through workshops, conferences and temporary exhibitions, the museum encourages research and innovation in the field of glass. In addition, the educational workshop equipped with melting furnaces allows visitors to discover the secrets of this fascinating material.
