Albacete Museum

The Albacete Museum is an art museum in the city and displays works of painting, sculpture, and archaeological finds from the region. The exhibitions are spread across several areas, each highlighting a different aspect of local culture and history.

The museum was founded in 1927 and was originally housed at another location before moving to its current building in 1978. The move to Abelardo Sanchez Park was an important step to make the collection more accessible to the public.

The archaeological collection displays finds from different periods of the region, including Roman objects and Iberian sculptures from local excavations. Visitors can see how people in this area lived and worked across many centuries.

The museum is located in Abelardo Sanchez Park and is surrounded by green spaces, making for a pleasant visit. The rooms are well organized and easy to navigate, even if you don't follow a particular route.

The museum houses a significant collection of more than 100 paintings by artist Benjamin Palencia, an important figure in modern Spanish painting. This collection is one of the most comprehensive displays of his work in the region.
