La Cámara del Oro, un espacio cargado de simbolismo y misterio que encarna la concepción del poder económico como valor sagrado
«Tecnología y seguridad», el apartado dedicado a este singular enclave arquitectónico en la exposición «Alegorías de un porvenir», reúne una heterogénea selección de materiales que, al tiempo que nos dan cuentan del alarde técnico que supuso su construcción, también nos acercan a su intrahistoria, visibilizando a los trabajadores anónimos que la edificaron.
Economies of the Residual. A Theory of Landscape as a Fold
In the latest in the website's 'Itineraries' section, Víctor del Río takes a selection of works from the Banco de España Collection to explore the way the concept of landscape has been redefined in the poetics of contemporary art. All produced between 1989 and 2024, the pieces – says del Río – 'transform the notion of landscape from a geopolitical awareness'.

‘Allegories of What is to Come’ shows how the ambitious architectural and ornamental design of the 1930s extension played a key role in the institution's transition to modern times. It also looks at the contradictions and tensions of a turbulent era which promoted the ideal of harmony whilst accepting the reality of social inequality and conflict.
