It's a place well worth a visit.

"The Morille Art Cemetery (Museum-Mausoleum) was initiated by artists Domingo Sánchez Blanco and the late Javier Utray. Receptive to the proposal, the Morille City Council Plenary, in a session held on April 11, 2005, approved the allocation of a 50,000 m2 plot for this purpose (in the Centeneros de la Iglesia area) and to actively participate in its development and operation.
The basic purpose of the Morille Art Cemetery is the burial of pieces of recognized artistic value and/or directly linked to the field of avant-garde art, understanding that the process leading to the burial is no less important than the burial itself.
Each burial (each process) is cataloged and documented in its basic outlines, with a view to the future creation of a Documentation Center that would allow complete and rigorous access to the various works.
This is an ambiguous, complex, and plural proposal: for some, it is a "permanent repository of "art"; for others, a "museum-mausoleum," an "underground art center," and even a "concave museum"; although the term "art cemetery" has prevailed over the others, perhaps due to the forcefulness of the terms.
The plurality of approaches places the Morille Art Cemetery precisely at the crossroads that discusses the very essence of artistic creation (its nature and social function, among other considerations), not without an evident critical dimension regarding the foundations of current museology.
The project's wide impact is one indication of the interest it has aroused among both the general and specialized public.
