Opened in 1998, this museum is devoted to Esteban Vicente, an artist born in the segovian village of Turegano, educated in Madrid, sent into exile due to the Civil War, and the only Spanish member of the first generation of the New York School of American Abstract Expressionism. The collection is composed by oil paintings, collages, drawings, watercolours and sculptures by the artist, donated by him and his wife, Harriet Gotfried.

The exhibition of this Permanent Collection alternates with Temporal Exhibitions and diverse activities such as conferences, recitals and concerts.

The museum was set in the former Palace of Enrique IV Trastamara, built in the beginning of the 15th century by Juan II for his son. In 1518 it was transformed into a Hospital de Viejos (old people’s home), which chapel is preserved inside. Lately, it was converted into a Noble Arts School.
