International loan requests have quadrupled over the past twelve months at the Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias, rtpa.es reported as the institution approaches one year under its current leadership.
María López Fanjul, director of the museum, has requested a 30% budget increase to fund new projects as she nears her first year heading the institution. International outreach remains a core priority under her tenure, transforming the museum into an active economic driver.
“Obras suyas, de Anglada-Camarasa, acaban de llegar a la prestigiosa Kunsthalle de Múnich y, el año próximo, otros lienzos viajarán a París, Chicago o Alemania.”
López Fanjul told rtpa.es, highlighting the recent arrival of Anglada-Camarasa works at the Kunsthalle in Munich and upcoming exhibitions in Paris, Chicago, and Germany.
- The Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias has seen international loan requests multiply by four over the past 12 months.
- Director María López Fanjul is requesting a 30% budget increase to support upcoming institutional development.
- Planned international exhibitions will place museum canvases in Paris, Chicago, and Germany next year.
Beyond international venues, the institution is working to establish tighter domestic networks with local councils. The museum has offered to partner with municipalities such as Gijón, which is currently developing the Tabacalera project.
| Project Scope | Target Location | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Anglada-Camarasa Loans | Kunsthalle Munich | Completed |
| International Exhibitions | Paris, Chicago, Germany | Next Year |
| Domestic Partnerships | Gijón (Tabacalera) | Ongoing |
Internal modifications are also underway within the Oviedo-Portal building, which serves as one of the three structures comprising the museum complex. Meanwhile, the broader physical expansion of the institution has remained stalled for nearly a year, leaving leadership reluctant to establish definitive timelines for completion.
