Fabulous art gallery (note, not a museum) with 100's of old religious art works. The Prado I'm Madrid feels 50 times bigger but still worth the visit. The gallery showcases many local Valencian artists which were good to see. Highly recommended
This was an absolute gem. The museo was easy to find and the staff were incredibly friendly. I was pleasantly surprised to find that entry was free for all visitors. I would recommend to all first time visitors to Valencia.
I was very impressed with this art gallery. It does not have an entry fee which was a very plesant surprise. The entrance hall as some amazing painting . There are lockers to put your belonging in . You need a 1 Euro coin. This is returned once you finish.Also they have perspex doors so you can see which is yours. There are toilet facilities which are very clean. There is a cafe..this is a let down as its vending machines. It is a place to rest and it looks like it use to be more than it is now. Cutbacks I guess but the place is free to enter.
1. The second most important museum in Spain The museum is considered the second largest art museum in the country after the Prado. Its collection is particularly strong in Valencian Gothic and Renaissance art, making it a key center for the study of regional art. 2. Located in a historic 17th-century building The museum occupies the former College of the Seminary of San Pio V, built in the 17th century. Inside, the monastery cloisters have been preserved, as well as the restored Renaissance courtyard of the Ambassador Vich (Patio del Embajador Vich), one of Valencia's architectural masterpieces. 3. Birthplace of Sorolla's early works The collection includes early works by Joaquín Sorolla, a native of Valencia, as well as works by Goya, Velázquez (workshop/circle), and El Greco. This allows us to trace the evolution of Spanish painting from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.
Small and pretty museum and it’s free!!!!! Just for the fact that it’s free I would go and visit it. They have a lot of religious pieces tho so if it’s not your cup of tea maybe skip it. The staff was really friendly too so I enjoyed it :) Also next to a cute park that you can visit after !
