The emblematic Silo de Hortaleza in Madrid now hosts the exhibition 'A Stop in Madrid', an initiative from the Cromática Museum of Toledo that fuses pictorial art and transformed musical instruments.

The Silo de Hortaleza has become the new venue for the exhibition 'A Stop in Madrid', an artistic proposal that brings the collection of the Cromática Museum of Toledo to the capital for the first time. The exhibition features pictorial works and a selection of artistically intervened musical instruments, offering a unique cultural experience.
This initiative, open to the public until June 28, unfolds across the building's six levels. On each floor, visitors will find an intervened musical instrument, accompanied by creations from artists associated with the Toledo museum, establishing a dialogue between painting, music, and contemporary creation.
The project goes beyond a conventional exhibition, structuring itself as a creative transformation where each musical instrument becomes a unique work of art. Artists contribute their personal vision within a common discourse that gives equal prominence to both the pictorial pieces and the intervened instruments, creating a progressive and immersive experience.
The vertical arrangement of the works invites visitors to explore different artistic disciplines and sensibilities, allowing art to dialogue directly with the architecture of the Silo. According to the City Council, this space is consolidating itself as a meeting point between cities, disciplines, and sensibilities, offering a proposal that transcends passive observation.
