Museo de Semana Santa de Zamora, Religious art museum in Zamora, Spain.
The Museo de Semana Santa de Zamora is a religious art museum in Spain that displays sculptural groups representing scenes from the Passion of Christ. The collection features works by notable Spanish sculptors and shows the craftsmanship of these processional art objects.
The institution was created in 1957 by the Junta Pro Semana Santa to protect and preserve the processional sculptures of the region. It opened to the public several years later to make these works accessible to visitors.
The exhibits showcase religious artworks that are carried during Holy Week processions, connecting artistic creation with spiritual practice in the community. These pieces hold deep meaning in local traditions and are seen by residents as central to the Easter celebrations.
The museum is centrally located in Zamora and is easy to reach on foot, especially if you are exploring the old town. The exhibits are manageable in size and can be seen in about an hour or two.
The museum houses a specialized documentation center that researches the traditions and history of Holy Week in the region. This archive is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the local religious customs.
