The Oteiza Museum is a monographic space that houses the personal collection of the renowned sculptor and integral artist (Orio, 1908-San Sebastián, 2003), made up of 1,690 sculptures, 2,000 pieces of his experimental work included in his Chalk Laboratory, in addition to an extensive presence of drawings and collages. The Museum is located in the rural environment of the Navarra de Alzuza town, located 9 kilometers from Pamplona, and exhibits a representative selection of the work of the artist, one of the most significant creators of 20th century sculpture, who broke into the international art scene after winning the Grand Prize at the São Paulo Biennial in 1957 with his Experimental Purpose.
The Oteiza Museum is the work of the architect Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza, who has designed a large reddish concrete cube conceived as a metaphor for the space recreated by Oteiza, and which integrates the house in which Jorge Oteiza settled in 1975.
