A gallery with an impressive collection of true "mastodons" of contemporary art. There are works by Miro, Picasso, Chagall, Kandinsky, Varaseli and Gonzalez. The museum is located in an old building of the 17th century. Its history began in 1978, when the local abstract artist E. Sempere donated his collection of paintings to the city. Works by Sempre himself occupy a separate floor of the museum.

Absolutely perfect experience. The museum is free and very quiet, so we roamed around the 4 floors of art without feeling under pressure. Beautiful pieces of artwork.

Free entry. Small museum that’s a bit sparse on two of the three floors. Still worth a stop by.

Nice free gallery. Some nice hanging pieces, many questionable or uninteresting pieces.

A very interesting display of modern art in the Alicante old town. I'm no art expert but found it fascinating.
A lot of exhibits over 4 floors, and free to enter.
Well worth a visit.

More modern than contemporary
The setup really makes the art shines
The variety and quantity of pieces is really worth the (free) visit
I feel bad putting 4 stars but it is mainly sculptures and paintings, almost no videos or audios

The museum is free of charge. Some of the art works looked really interesting, but others were simply boring and pedestrian. The museum itself is quite small: I took around 30 minutes here.

Loved the space and design. The Sempere exhibition was wonderful but over attentive staff and no photography which is very strange for a public gallery!
