The water of Sebastião Salgado occupies a historic reservoir in Madrid
Fundación Canal brings together Aqua Mater and Glaciares for the first time at Sala Castellana 214. The exhibition is open from 11:00 to 22:00, except on Tuesdays, and no closing date has been announced yet.
Antarctica, Patagonia and the Amazon appear alongside Iceland, the Himalayas and Canada in a journey built over more than twenty years. The large-format black and white photographs document the power and fragility of water in very different landscapes.
Fundación Canal is presenting the Aqua Mater y Glaciares series together for the first time. The collection is curated by Lélia Wanick Salgado and brings together almost a hundred images by Sebastião Salgado.
The works are displayed in a historic water reservoir, where the exhibition combines photography, space and sound. The exhibition is part of the activities marking the 25th anniversary of the foundation and coincides with the 175th anniversary of Canal de Isabel II.
The exhibition can be visited at Sala Castellana 214 every day except Tuesdays, when the venue is closed. Opening hours are from 11:00 to 22:00 and tickets are sold online or at the box office.
The public opening was on 28 October 2026; the organisers have not announced a closing date.
