The Real Fábrica de Artillería, Bien de Interés Cultural for more than two decades and owned by the City of Seville since 2010, has undergone an ambitious rehabilitation project that seems to see the end. The reopening of this ambitious cultural and artistic center took place on October 21. King Felipe VI inaugurated this space, which in turn houses the exhibition Los Machado.Although itwill not be the only event to be held in the building (OFFF Seville opens on November 28), it is the largest exhibition on the Machado family.

The exhibition, free of charge, brings together 200 original pieces, plastic works, photographs, unpublished texts, manuscripts and personal items. Many of these objects had not been shown to the public until now and reveal the childhood, youth and expertise throughout the Second Republic and the Spanish Civil War.

The material belongs to the Real Academia Burgense de Historia y Bellas Artes and to the Unicaja Foundation’s collection. The Machados. Retrato de familia has the collaboration of the Real Academia Sevillana de Buenas Letras, the University of Seville and the Hemeroteca Municipal.
