Banco Santander Collection 2021

Comprising over a thousand works, the collection covers a period stretching from the 2^nd century BC to the present day. Though its core content consists of paintings, the collection also contains sculptures, decorative arts and an extensive coin collection.

The foundation is responsible for its management, preservation and promotion. As usual, over the last year the works were examined to ensure they are being kept in appropriate conditions for their preservation. Moreover, loan requests made by other museums and institutions were processed and coordinated.

With a view to making its funds more widely known, the foundation carried out several multimedia initiatives. Its website offers top quality photographs and detailed information on the paintings, sculptures, drawings and tapestries in the collection. This year also saw the launch of a new audiovisual project—‘Colección Banco Santander. Vívela’—in which professionals from other cultural areas (fashion, food, journalism, the performing arts, etc.) explore the link of the works in the collection with their respective disciplines and with different topical issues. These videos have been published on the website and are also available on the foundation YouTube channel.

Loans

The foundation lends out works from the Banco Santander Collection temporarily to national and international museums and art galleries for exhibitions to encourage the engagement of society with art and to support the cultural projects of other institutions.
