The show presented personal documentation and photographs from different periods in his life, together with numerous works of art, notable among which were pieces by many of the artists who participated in the Encuentros de Altamira for which Beltrán de Heredia was the organisational secretary. It also featured various items from the collections of Imprenta Bedia, the publishing house of which Beltrán de Heredia was a member and active editor. Various documents relating to his activity in the spheres of politics, university and the world of culture in general completed the selection.
