Xul Solar is a magnificent artist. It’s highly regrettable that his is not internationally well known as he should be. Personally, I believe we can compare him with the greatest figures of the 20th Century, with Picasso, Gris, the Dadaist. His paintings are profound in concept, ample in skill and extremely beautiful. The Xul Solar Museum is a wonderful place... More

This is a special find for people interested in contemporary art. It features a range of work by the artist Xul Solar, which features pieces based on religion, myths and futuristic visions of cities, all invented by the artist. These are very colorful pieces and very accessible to the viewer. More

Beautiful art housed in a very interesting building. I had not been familiar with Xul Solar but am now a fan. His work has been compared to Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. The small museum shop sells high quality prints on hand-made papers. Don't miss this! For more recommendations on BA, see my blog post which includes photos and links:... More

This museum was recommended in a NYTimes article about BA. It was interesting. I can't think of that many museums that only have the work of one artist and it is located in his former home so that was interesting too. Worth a stop, it will only take you about 45 minutes to have a look around. We asked, and... More
