En 1953 Ramón Vázquez Molezún recibió el Premio Nacional de Arquitectura con su proyecto Museo de Arte Contemporáneo. Fue su segundo galardón en poco más de dos años, después de haber recibido en 1951 el premio de la I Bienal Hispanoamericana con el proyecto Teatro al Aire Libre Homenaje a Gaudí. Paradójicamente, gracias a estos dos ejercicios de carácter académico realizados durante su estancia como pensionado en la Academia Española de Bellas Artes de Roma, Molezún se convirtió, sin haber construido una sola obra, en una referencia tanto para los arquitectos españoles como para los estudiantes de las escuelas de arquitectura de nuestro país. El propio Museo de Arte Contemporáneo fue en aquella época un proyecto clave en el devenir de su obra y uno de los más influyentes entre sus colegas. Este artículo estudia, en un primer lugar, el contexto de esa propuesta de museo, de esa idea que fue dibujada por Ramón Vázquez Molezún sin intención de ser construida, tratando de desvelar las claves proyectuales de su esencia: a este respecto las alusiones a Gaudí y Wright, pero también a sus viajes por Europa son citas obligadas. Después trata de analizar en qué medida este proyecto, un museo convertido en musa, pudo servir de inspiración para la generación de otros muchos proyectos sí construidos, propios y ajenos.In 1953, Ramón Vázquez Molezún received the National Architecture Prize for his Contemporary Art Museum project. It was his second award in little more than two years, after receiving the First Hispanic-American Biennial Prize for his Open-air theatre; tribute to Gaudi. Paradoxically, thanks to these academic works made during his stay as a pensioner at the Spanish Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, Molezún became, without having built any construction yet, a model for both architects and architecture students of our country. The Contemporary Art Museum was, at the time, a key project in the progression of Molezun’s career, and one of the most influential works among his colleagues. First of all, this article studies the context of this museum, of the concept drawn by Ramón Vázquez Molezún without any intention of building it, trying to uncover the keys of its essence. Gaudi and Wright allusions, as well as his travels around Europe, are mandatory stops. Secondly, the article tries to analyze in what measure this project, a museum made muse, could have been an inspiration for a great number of built projects, both Molezún’s and others.

About shore-walks and other idle amusements The author, who is a sculptor and the leader of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bergen, Norway, looks at the art museum with mixed feelings. The works of art which have attained the status of museum objects have been salvaged from the relentless flow of time. But, alas, many of them are doomed to the store-room or cellar.
