One of the key responsibilities of the Fundación Telefónica Art and Technology Division is the conservation, maintenance, dissemination and expansion through new acquisitions, of Telefónica's art treasures, which are grouped into different collections.
These collections play an important social and cultural role as models in their category. The items they include are selected using highly rigorous quality standards by an Art Advice Committee formed by modern and contemporary art experts of the highest international prestige.
It is also worth mentioning that these collections are clearly intended as a supplement to museums, insofar as they set out to cover the absences in such national institutions.
