Since 2015, the Doña Pakyta Art Museum has been linked to the CAMA institution which decided to create the Almería Art Museum with two headquarters in the city, one in the Casa de Doña Pakita and another in a building called ""Espacio 2"" with the aim that the visitor can traverse chronologically the entire set of Almeria pictorial art since in the first one exhibits works made between the years 1880 and 1979 and in the second, from the end of the 20th century to the present.
The home of Doña Francisca Díaz Torres was built in the year 1928 by the architect Guillermo Langle in a northern style that contrasts with that of the typical Andalusian houses nearby so the neighbors began to call it ""the Basque house."" This woman from Almería decided to donate his property to the city after his deathso that the City Council could use it as a cultural center and permanent exhibition space. Between the years 2014 and 2017, a comprehensive rehabilitation of the building has been carried out to adapt its rooms to the requirements of a museum, in addition to tidying up the gardens, conditioning the ;basement and the attic to have more exhibition space and create a cafeteria and a shop for the use of visitors. Today, this interesting museum is made up of seven rooms that accompany us through various artistic movements, from the academic ones to the Indaliano Group, the undisputed jewel of the collection to which They have dedicated three of their rooms to him.
