Tickets for Fundación Mapfre Madrid Sala Recoletos

KBr is the new Photography Centre with which Fundación MAPFRE begins a new stage in its intense dedication to artistic photography, one of its main areas of cultural activity since 2009. The centre is housed in one of the most iconic buildings of modern-day Barcelona: the MAPFRE Tower in the Olympic Marina. At the bottom of the tower, the exhibition centre occupies the curved two-story projection between Avenida del Litoral and the seafront promenade.

The name KBr Fundación MAPFRE Barcelona Photo Centre refers to the chemical symbol for potassium bromide, a salt used in the analogue photography development process, and a declaration of intentions from the institution's line, committed to the recovery of tradition and masters of photography, but also with contemporaneity.

There are two temporary exhibitions from February 19 to May 19, 2026:

1. Anders Zorn. Traveling the World, Remembering the Land: Anders Zorn (1860–1920) was one of the most prominent Swedish painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
2. Helen Levitt: Helen Levitt (1913–2009) developed over more than seven decades one of the most personal and poetic visions of 20th-century urban life.
