Museo Quiñones de León, Municipal museum in Castrelos, Vigo, Spain.

The museum occupies a seventeenth-century manor house with permanent exhibition rooms displaying European paintings and archaeological artifacts from different periods.

The institution opened in 1937 following Fernando Quiñones's donation of the estate and gardens in 1925, along with Policarpo Sanz's art collection.

The ground floor maintains the original residence atmosphere of the marquis, featuring European paintings from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Visitors can explore the museum Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 2 PM, Saturdays from 5 PM to 8 PM, and Sundays from 11 AM to 2 PM.

The surrounding five-hectare garden complex combines French and English landscaping styles, including a notable double row of camellias along Paseo de Antonio Odriozola.
