Casa-Museu Benlliure, Art museum in Carmen district, Valencia, Spain
Description
Casa-Museu Benlliure is a three-story residential house in Valencia's Carmen district that was converted into an art museum. The building contains rooms with 19th-century furnishings, a Mediterranean garden, and a painting pavilion situated at the rear of the property.
History
The original family assembled their art collection in this house and Maria Benlliure donated the building to Valencia's city council in 1957. A decade later it opened as a museum, preserving the artistic legacy of this family.
Culture
The house displays works by the Benlliure family and other Spanish artists from the 19th century, reflecting the artistic life of that period. The rooms also preserve musical instruments and furnishings that document the family's everyday life.
Practical
The museum is open from Tuesday to Saturday in the morning and afternoon with a midday break, and on Sundays only in the morning. It is advisable to check in advance if all collections are fully accessible, as some rooms may close temporarily.
