Exclusive guided visit to Chillida Leku

  • With lots of taste
    Zarautz — Donostia/San Sebastián

Description

Chillida Leku is located in Hernani, just a few kilometres from San Sebastián (Donostia / San Sebastián), in a remarkable setting: the 16th-century Zabalaga farmhouse and a multi-hectare garden where Eduardo Chillida's monumental sculptures are placed in direct dialogue with the Gipuzkoa landscape. The exclusive guided visit allows a more in-depth exploration of the whole complex. The farmhouse houses graphic works, smaller-format sculptures and temporary exhibitions, while the garden displays the large-scale pieces that define Chillida's sculptural language: a sustained investigation into space, matter and the void. The collection covers the artist's complete career, from his earliest works to his largest pieces, making it possible to follow the evolution of his artistic thinking. Advance booking is required. Chillida Leku is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Its proximity to San Sebastián makes it a natural stop on a route through Gipuzkoa for those seeking a more considered encounter with Basque contemporary art.
