The Sculptural Campus Museum of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, MUCAES UPV, is currently considered one of the largest and best collections of outdoor sculpture existing in Spain, and unique in the Spanish university field.

The Museum, promoted at the end of the 80s, is the result of a planned growth, in which the pieces have been incorporated through different modalities (exchanges, purchases and donations), until achieving, today, a corpus of 79 sculptures by 69 internationally renowned artists, with creation dates ranging from the beginning of the 60s to the present, of various themes and meanings, which interact and integrate harmoniously into the natural environment that surrounds them.

In addition to its cultural value, the Museum has a significant pedagogical and research intention. It offers visits, seminars and workshops given by the authors themselves, and the collection is often used for the development of studies and lines of research.

Permanent exhibition

All the sculptures are permanent and are distributed among the three campuses of the University (Vera, Gandia and Alcoy), although most of them are installed along the garden area of the Vera campus, making this an ideal setting to host this collection. The sculptural ensemble does not obey a specific exhibition discourse, although the Museum proposes different itineraries depending on themes, movements or didactic units that address the pieces of the collection, such as: "abstraction-figuration", "city and nature", "Valencian sculptures", "sculptor teachers", "the human body" or "the representation of the animal in sculpture".
