Museo Evaristo Valle

The Museo Evaristo Valle is an art museum in Somió that spans two buildings and houses over one hundred paintings and drawings by the artist. The property features a large garden with contemporary sculptures and a dedicated space for bonsai trees.

The museum was established in 1981 to preserve the works, personal objects, and documents of painter Evaristo Valle. His niece María Rodríguez del Valle created this archive as a significant cultural record for the region.

The collection shows the painter's works displayed in different rooms and gives a sense of how his artistic style developed over time. Visitors can follow the different phases of his career and gain insight into his creative process.

The best time to visit is on weekdays when fewer visitors are present and you can explore the exhibition without crowds. The site is easy to navigate and allows plenty of time to walk through both buildings and the garden.

The garden combines French and English landscaping styles and displays the original design from the late 19th century. This carefully preserved setting makes the place more than just a display space for the artworks.
