Museum Regional fine arts museum exhibiting Spanish paintings and sculpture

The Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias is a regional fine arts museum in Oviedo, Asturias, Spain that holds the principal public visual arts collection for the Asturias region. Its holdings document local and broader Spanish artistic production across several centuries.
Exhibits cover paintings, sculptures and applied arts spanning from the late medieval period through the 19th and 20th centuries, with works that reflect Asturias’s cultural history. The displays place regional artists in the wider context of Spanish and European art traditions.
The museum’s collections were assembled from regional government holdings, donations and transfers from other institutions to create a central repository for Asturias’s fine arts. The institution has undergone curatorial and exhibition changes to improve public access to the collection.
The museum is situated in Oviedo, the capital of Asturias in northern Spain, within the city’s cultural quarter and accessible from the historic centre.

- Combine your visit with a short walking route around Oviedo's historic centre (nearby cathedral and plazas) so you don't miss local context and smaller galleries that many day visitors skip.
