On this tour with a private guide, you’ll get to know the workshop and last home to the painter Joaquín Sorolla, along with its temporary exhibits.
The Sorolla Museum features work by the artist. It used to be his home and, besides of turning to be a charming palace, architecturally speaking, it houses masterpieces of this grand artist of Levante. Within the collection we can find several works, to be classified in different categories.
It’s one of the most beautiful and homely museums in Madrid, as well as one of the best-preserved houses in Europe. The building was converted into a museum after the death of his widow. Designed by Enrique María Repullés, it was declared an asset of cultural interest in 1962.
The principal rooms continue to be furnished as they were during the artist’s life, including Sorolla’s large, well-lit studio, where the walls are filled with his canvasses. Other rooms are used as galleries to display Sorolla’s paintings, while the upstairs rooms are a gallery for special exhibitions. In 2014 these rooms held an exhibition of David Palacin photographs of the ballet Sorolla produced by the Spanish National Dance Company.
