Fundación Juan March in Madrid: free exhibitions, opening hours and how to get there

Updated on October 9, 2026

The Fundación Juan March is a private cultural institution on Calle de Castelló, in the Salamanca district. It stages temporary exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, organises concerts and lectures, and houses a library of contemporary Spanish music and theatre. Entry to the exhibitions is free, which makes it an easy stop between the Retiro and the shops of Serrano. Allow about an hour for an exhibition, longer if you attend a concert or browse the shop.

Highlights

The headquarters on Calle de Castelló

The building at Calle de Castelló 77 holds the exhibition rooms, the auditorium and the library. It stands on a residential and shopping street in the Salamanca district.

The temporary exhibitions

The programme changes several times a year and is best checked on the foundation's website before your visit. The rooms are modest in size, so the visit stays short.

Concerts and lectures

The foundation runs concert and lecture series in its auditorium. Some seats are available by invitation, requested on its website: check the calendar before your trip.

The shop and the library

The shop sells catalogues and the foundation's publications. The library is a research centre for study purposes, not a room for visitors.

Tips

Entry to the exhibitions is free (checked in October 2026). Bring a light bag: a cloakroom may be required depending on crowds. Concerts and lectures have their own access arrangements: check them on the foundation's website. To extend your outing, pair the visit with the Retiro Park or the Lázaro Galdiano Museum.
