Camilo José Cela Museum

“Between these stone walls [...], my dream of giving back to the land of Galicia everything that it gave me and that is an irrefutable sign, the unmistakable sign that I have lived, becomes a reality”.
CJC

Since 1991, the Camilo José Cela Foundation has managed the Camilo José Cela Museum, a space for reflection in which to chronologically discover the life and work of the writer through personal objects, his library, his art collection and much more.

His lesser-known facets such as painter, actor, publisher or traveller can clearly be seen by all audiences, after the museum´s refurbishment carried out in 2017.
A magical place that allows visitors to discover a convulsive period in the history of Spain as was the second half of the 20th century, through one of its greatest cultural crnerstones.

CULTURAL ACTIVITIES

The Foundation offers each year a complete cultural programme to bring Camilo José Cela’s figure and legacy closer to visitors: guided tours to the permanent exhibition, loans to other institutions, educational activities for students and a variety of cultural events.
The Foundation also hosts temporary exhibitions both inside and outside its headquarters, either related to an event of interest or in collaboration with other entities, with the aim of turning the Camilo José Cela Museum into a cultural and artistic local landmark.
The Foundation has large, comfortable spaces full of historical importance, available to host all kinds of events, courses, lectures or presentations.

PERMANENT EXHIBITION

As a museum, the Foundation has a permanent exhibition structured chronologically  to show the life and literary background of Camilo José Cela.
 

LOAN POLICY

As a complement to its own exhibitions, the Foundation develops a policy of free loans from the museum collections to other institutions.
