It houses the most extensive archive of the work of Tàpies, as well as collections on Asian and pre-Columbian arts and culture, as well as the African and oceanic arts that have had such importance in the evolution of twentieth-century art. A bibliographic collection in constant growth. With a plural and interdisciplinary approach, the Foundation organizes temporary exhibitions, symposia, conferences and film cycles.
