Yesterday, the book “Rafael Moneo. The Art and Architecture of Museums” was presented at the College of Architects of Madrid. José Ángel Ferrer, author of the book, shared some anecdotes related to his interest in Moneo’s work before an almost full auditorium. He highlighted the importance that the works of art to be exhibited have had in the final design of Moneo’s museums, especially in the paradigmatic cases of Mérida and the Miró Foundation, while reviewing, in a suci nt manner, the most relevant qualities and values, in his opinion, of the six museums analyzed in the book: Museo Romano de Mérida, Thyssen in Madrid, Fundación Miró in Palma de Mallorca, Davis Museum in Boston, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Fine Arts Museum in Houston. At the table with Ferrer were Rafael Moneo, who praised the presented work, José Manuel López-Peláez, and Marcelo Camerlo. Also attending the event were D. Manuel Villa-Cellino (President of the Nebrija University), D. Diego Martínez Cano (President of the Chamber of Commerce of Almería), and other personalities from the world of culture and business, along with numerous architects and those interested in the world of culture in general and museums in particular.
