Culture Index exists to catalog cultural institutions online, and highlight the best practices that inspire us.
Launching with a focus on museums and building from there, we are a resource for both research and discovery. Browse information about online communications, and discover ideas with examples of what’s possible for cultural institutions in the digital space.
As a community project facilitated by Base, we invite you to use and contribute to this growing resource.
Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Helga De Alvear
Some time ago, Helga de Alvear decided to share her collection with the world and to turn it into the frame of reference for a project intended to promote, produce, investigate and educate the public about the contemporary visual arts. The initiative was favourably received by the Council of Extremadura and, in accordance with other institutions representing the Autonomous Community, the Town Hall and the Provincial Council of Cáceres, as well as the University and the Caja de Ahorros de Extremadura, the Helga de Alvear Foundation was created in 2006 with the following aims:
- The research, promotion and dissemination of visual arts, as well as collecting some of the most significant artworks during the time of activity of the Foundation.
- The creation, conservation, maintenance, management and development of the Museum of Contemporary Art Helga de Alvear as the center where the activity of the Foundation is carried out.
- The maintenance, conservation, promotion, expansion and dissemination of artistic funds owned by the Foundation or the artistic funds of another owner who has reached an agreement with the Foundation.
The Museum of Contemporary Art Helga de Alvear, run by the Helga de Alvear Foundation, is the space in which these actions take place with two aims in mind: to become an internationally recognised museum and to do so in a way that fully involves everyone through contemplation, criticism, education and creative attitude.
