history

Wolf Vostell traveled to Malpartida de Cáceres (in the southwest of Spain) in 1974 and founded the Museo Vostell Malpartida (MVM) together with his wife Mercedes Vostell in 1976 in a wool laundry (Lavadero de Lanas) from the 18th century.

In 1994 the Provincial Government of Extremadura undertook the renovation of the buildings. After Wolf Vostell's death in 1998, Mercedes Vostell became the museum's artistic director. In 2005 the state government acquired the Wolf Vostell archive. The Wolf Vostell Archive has become an integral part of the Museo Vostell Malpartida and serves as a source of information for art historians and journalists .
