Discovering this fanciful museum must be earned! In the middle of nowhere, the small Spanish town of Malpartida de Caceres, in the province of Estremadura, shelters the Barruecos « Natural Monument », a natural regional park whose landscape is dotted with imposing granite rocks that give it a lunar aspect and the conservatory, founded in 1976, by German-Spanish artist Wolf Vostell.

Precursor of the cultural movements Happening and Fluxus, painter, sculptor, pioneer of video-art and the « décollage » art technique of peeling, he has accumulated the wildest works in the former outbuildings of a wool laundry—the visual shocks begin as soon as the door swings open.

Artsy off-beat creations and decorating ideas

The artistic creations and the fetishist symbols of this avant-garde artist are regrouped in collections with an originality worthy of Salvador Dali's surrealism. Broom Cadillac, piano Buick, wall of motorcycles, transformed televisions, compressed cement, all these creations offer a wide array of stunning art works. This unusual place could inspire you with decoration ideas for your sweet home, or a show room…
