In January 2025, the University of Navarra Museum will celebrate its tenth anniversary, and to mark the occasion, it is presenting the exhibition University of Navarra Museum Collection. Four Decades, which, for the first time, offers a comprehensive overview of the evolution of the collection since its inception in the early 1980s. Organized around its two main collections, photography and painting and sculpture, the exhibition focuses on the evolution of the visual arts in the construction of images that facilitate our knowledge and understanding of reality. Through the works on display, we can explore 185 years of art. There are many perspectives that help us understand the world through images, and in which the voice of the artists who created them plays a predominant role. Starting with the different beginnings of the collection, the Ortiz Echagüe, María Josefa Huarte, Oriente, and América collections, moving on to paper and digital photography, videos and installations, and the Tender Puentes artist residency program, we evolve and traverse the historical and artistic periods, techniques, and themes that form the backbone of the collection, from the beginning of photography in 1839 to the present day.
