The Museum operates in what used to be Xul Solar´s home. The artist himself had requested that his house be transformed into a centre for cultural events imbued with a "club" spirit. This is the reason why the foundation that supports the Museum is called the "Pan Klub ". It reflects Xul´s idea that the Museum should be a meeting place for artists, thinkers, and people interested in art and science. What used to be the living-room is remembered as a place where friendly gatherings tookplace. Xul often spent long hours there chatting with his close friend, Jorge Luis Borges.
When the Museum was built, special emphasis was put on respecting Xul´s idea. The design included a large central room and several other smaller rooms. Xul was a pioneer in his times. He was a visionary, a man who transformed art into a science. A large number of his works are exhibited in this Museum, which is also equipped with bibliography and reference material on the artist.
