The Vicente Aguilera Cerni Contemporary Art Museum of Vilafamés (MACVAC) celebrates International Museum Day with a special program combining heritage, contemporary creation, and live music.

The special program will begin on Saturday, May 16 at 6:00 PM with an activity in collaboration with the Valltorta Museum. This proposal seeks to establish a dialogue between contemporary art and cave art, offering a guided tour of works from the MACVAC collection that present aesthetic, symbolic, or conceptual links with the Paleolithic imaginary.
The activity will continue with a visit to the cave shelter of Castell de Vilafamés, an educational initiative that invites reflection on the permanence of certain visual languages throughout history.
The day will continue in the evening with the inauguration of the exhibition A Place for the Place of No Place, a display that brings together some of the most representative surrealist works preserved in the museum's collection. The opening will be at 10:30 PM at MACVAC and will offer an approach to one of the most suggestive and influential artistic movements of the 20th century.
After the inauguration, attendees can enjoy a glass of cava and traditional sweets in a festive and cultural atmosphere. The special program will conclude on Sunday, May 17 with a concert by the Castellón group Hereus, who will perform in the Plaça de la Font de Vilafamés.
This performance will put the finishing touch on a weekend designed to celebrate the role of museums as spaces for encounter, dialogue, and contemporary creation. With this program, MACVAC joins the international celebration promoted by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) once again, reaffirming its commitment to cultural dissemination, artistic heritage, and the connection between different forms of expression and collective memory.
