The building required an investment of seven million euro to build, funds provided by the regional and central government. It is to house the Tito Bustillo Rupestrian Art Centre in Ribadesella.

The building's presentation on the 9th August was attended by President Vicente Álvarez Areces of the Principality of Asturias, Government Deputy Antonio Trevín, Mayor Ramón Canal of Ribadesella, Mercedes Álvarez González, who heads the Culture and Tourism Department, and Director-General José Luis Vega of Tourism and Cultural Heritage. They were accompanied by the construction firm's representatives.

The museum sits on one of the shores of the Sella River, in the former Corcubión quarry, next to Tito Bustillo Cave, and it occupies a magnificent site that adds to the charms of the town of Ribadesella with an avant-garde building.

The design plays with originality and modernity, blended with the true rupestrian meaning of the project, something that can be seen in the different ochre colours of the façade.

The building is 116 metres long, 16 metres tall and 16 metres wide. It has a total area of 8,000 square metres, split into three levels. The ground floor is designed for the reception station and a souvenir shop. The museum proper will be entirely contained by the first floor, and the top floor will be devoted to a huge coffee shop/restaurant with outdoor service. The equipment for the facilities, slated to cost 2.5 million euro, has yet to be installed.

This art centre will house recreations of the four most-important areas of Tito Bustillo cave: the Gallery of Horses, the Gallery of Anthropomorphs, the Chamber of Vulvas and the Main Panel, around which the standing exhibit will revolve.

This project is expected to become the spearhead of the "Rupestrian Paradise" initiative and tourism in Asturias. Tito Bustillo Cave is one of the most-important Palaeolithic sites in the world. In 2008 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
