Housed in the former Santa María de las Cuevas Monastery in Seville, the Andalusian Centre for Contemporary Art is a cultural landmark in Andalusia. This space, also known as La Cartuja, was adapted to house the museum during Expo 92 and today houses more than 3,200 works of contemporary art. Opened in 1997, the CAAC hosts temporary exhibitions by national and international artists, as well as promoting educational and cultural activities. Prominent names include Louise Bourgeois, Rebecca Horn, Luis Gordillo and Joseph Kosuth. The museum is also dedicated to promoting Andalusian creation, linking it to international artistic contexts. As well as art, the space preserves the historical memory of the monastery, where the remains of Christopher Columbus were kept for thirty years.
