Se trata de la traducción de la leyenda en un folleto turístico. El nombre del lugar es ESPACIO DE ARTE CONTEMPORÁNEO, y está ubicado en un edificio que funcionó como cárcel. No es un museo, pero no creo que se puede hablar tampoco de GALERÍA... any ideas?? thanks a lot, specially on a Sunday.

Ana Baameiro (asker) Nov 14, 2010:
Estoy de acuerdo con que los nombres no se traducen y trato de no hacerlo, pero los folletos del cliente son bilingües y en la versión en inglés quiere que se traduzca el concepto del nombre, si es que ya no hay un nombre en inglés que se use internacionalmente.
Katya Robledo Nov 14, 2010:
Si es nombre propio no se traduce Me llama la atención que dices que "el nombre del lugar es... " si este es el caso, yo lo dejaría en español y pondría una pequeña explicación. Just in case... =)

Note from asker:
That´s a great suggestion. After sending the question I kept searching and now I was reading some articles about different places where art is exhibited, and one of them mentions CENTRE many times. Thank you
Peer comment(s):

agree Katya Robledo : "Space" seems more appropriate in this case because it seems to be an "alternative" space rather than a Centre. =)
