Museo Ibercaja Camón Aznar

The regional savings bank Ibercaja is one of northern Spain’s most active patrons of the arts. This small museum, which augments several Ibercaja exhibition spaces in Zaragoza, fills a marvelous Renaissance home in the middle of the city. The upper-floor galleries are arranged chronologically. The first floor features mostly Spanish paintings from the 15th to 18th centuries, including Pedro Berreguete’s El Salvador. A few excellent Goya paintings, including a self-portrait, are highlights of the Sala Dorada on the mezzanine, while the low-lit second floor displays five Goya etching series, including Los Caprichos and the wrenching Los Desastres de la Guerra. The third floor is devoted to 19th- and 20th-century paintings and sculptures.
