Museum of Fine Arts

The Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias is housed in a complex of four buildings occupying part of a city block next to the Cathedral, in the very heart of Oviedo’s historic centre: the Velarde Palace (18th century), which contains the oldest collections (14th–19th centuries). the Casa de Oviedo-Portal (17th century), entirely devoted to 19th-century art; the Extension building (21st century), where the most contemporary collections are exhibited (20th–21st centuries); and a final mid-20th-century building, used for offices and other internal museum services.
