Alas y Viento Collection. Nacho Rovira I

???? A guided visit to the exhibition MASKS. Alas y Viento Collection. Nacho Rovira II was recently held, led by Professor Pilar Panero from the University of Valladolid, curator of the exhibition and driving force behind the project.

???? Here is a brief summary of the visit, in which we explored the origins and the heritage, symbolic, and cultural value of the 66 masks that make up the exhibition. These are living pieces that question, attract, and even unsettle us, continuing to play an active role within the communities that create and use them in their rituals and celebrations.

???? We invite you to discover this fascinating exhibition, open from 29 January to 26 April in the upper cloister of the Museo do Pobo Galego.
