Chillida Leku reopens in April
- After eight years closed, the Chillida Leku Museum of Hernani will reopen its doors in April, with a sample of its works.
The artist's family, Eduardo Chillida, has explained that restoration works are being carried out in the immediate vicinity of the Zabalaga Caserío to serve more visitors. Furthermore, a "respectful upgrade" of the existing facilities is being carried out.
The museum closed in 2011 due to the economic crisis and the lack of institutional support for the opening of the museum. Since then, many cultural events have been held and visits have also been received, but only limited and with prior appointment. The agreement signed in 2017 with the Swiss gallery Houser & Wirth will open its doors in April, at a date yet to be determined.
