The exhibition was statues by Pedro Raldon which were amazing. You got to see up close the statues in a cathedral that would normally be high in the air or altar. His work is fantastic. Rest of the spaces were interesting also. A good find.

This is a lovely art gallery. We did not realise how big it was until we were there in person. We spent two and a half hours there looking at superb artworks. The building itself is very attractive. Entrance is only 1.5 euros per person but does need to be in cash. The ladies on reception did not speak english but I was able to communicate in french! A lot of the art is religious but you cannot avoid marvelling at the skill involved.

I visited the museum on a Friday and there was a small crowd. The collection focuses on Spanish Baroque painting. Due to the time period, the subject matter of the paintings is primarily religious in nature. I remember seeing one painting by El Greco but Murillo is well represented at the museum. A must visit for art lovers.

Not busy at all. None Europeans cost 1.50 euros each. So inexpensive. Lovely building and paintings. Peaceful. Inner gardens are so pretty we say for a while in the sun just enjoying the tranquility of the location.

In a magnificent build dating from the late 1500s that was the Convent of the Order of the Merced Calzada de la Asunción is contained centuries of fabulous art. Beginning with religious works from the 15th century onwards. Powerful pieces, anonymous and otherwise, depict Christ’s passion and Calvary. Lucas Cranach shows a depiction of the latter. A great selection by Murillo is here. Again mostly religiously themed, including Santa Catalina and the Immaculate Conception. A work by Velazquez shows the head of an Apostle. Moving forward by a couple of centuries, we saw fine portraits by the likes of Sanchez and Cordero. Esquivel is well represented with great paintings. Another whose works we hadn’t much seen is Ramos; lovely to see everyday scenes depicted. An engaging and rewarding couple of hours.

I only did the ground floor exhibits and the beautiful courtyard gardens. Take a moment to sit and enjoy it as it was meant to in the past. There is a collection of prints which I very much enjoyed as well as the Murillo paintings. Otherwise, Religious art dominated. Extremely reasonable entrance fee of just 1.5 euros for non Europeans.

Visited in June 2024 as a couple. Please be advised that for non-eu residents, that is UK residence included, entrance is 1.5 Euros. Eu passport holders may enter for free. However, I wasn't at all disappointed about this as the museum is very big and paying €1.5 is a bargain. There's plenty of paintings to see many of them original. The site itself is quite large and took us about 2 hours to walk around. Plenty of places to sit a nice gardens to relax in in the heat.

Founded in 1839, the museum is housed in an imposing building. It is the second largest and most important museum in Spain after the Prado in Madrid. We have seen the works of many famous painters, my favourites are El Greco, Velazquez, Murillo's Angels. We liked its park, too. The painters of the artists' quarter exhibited and painted many pictures in front of the public. It was a great experience, not to be missed.
