There is a picture gallery made up of two Hispano-Flemish panels from the late 15th century, a supposed Carreño Miranda of the 16th century, two beautiful still lifes of the 19th century and a series of portraits of personalities connected with the construction of the centre, painted by Enrique Segura, and a magnificent oil painting by Mariano Moré, from the 20th century.

In this section we will highlight those works that, in our view, deserve to be singled out for their age and value.

They are currently stored in a room of the Universidad Laboral, in conditions that are not appropriate to the quality of these paintings, which were restored in 1993 by Clara González Fanjul.

At present these paintings are not freely accessible, and despite the various requests made over the last three years, these requests have been refused.

Distinctively costumbrista (genre painting of local customs), the canvas by the painter Moré, born in Gijón on 7 May 1899, presents a group of Asturian miners at the moment of leaving the mine. Experts see in this painting the influence of the painter Evaristo Valle.
