The Botin Museum of Contemporary Art by Renzo Piano has been inaugurated

Centro Botin, the contemporary art museum in Santander

Renzo Piano has finally inaugurated the long awaited Centro Botín in Santander, Spain. The building, which occupies a surface area of over 8,000 m2, is the headquarters of a contemporary art museum. Piano conceived the project as a structure flying over the water, composed of two rounded volumes connected by a series of glass and steel walkways that form a sort of public square suspended over the lake. In its interior, exhibition rooms lit by modern, layered walls in glass, aluminum and white fabric, branch off and create the perfect atmosphere to display the various art installations. The project also houses a restaurant by a renowned chef, an auditorium, educational rooms and an amphitheater for outdoor cinema.
