Art Center
Quetzal Art Center presents exhibitions with works by both established and emerging international artists, with an emphasis on finding connections between artistic generations, and stimulating curatorial experiment.

Quetzal Art Center
Quetzal Art Center is a contemporary art exhibition space of 450 m² and is situated far away from the metropolitan art hubs. From its inception, Quetzal focuses on the development of a contemporary art program that appeals to both a specialist audience and a broader, curious public. It is driven by a desire to test art’s purpose outside the traditional institutional and commercial structures. Quetzal Art Center presents exhibitions with works by established and emerging international artists, emphasizing finding connections between artistic generations and stimulating curatorial experiments, always in close connection with the family’s art collection. More and more Quetzal Art Center is also relating to the surrounding by installing site-specific works on the estate.
