Museu de l'arròs de València, Rice history museum in Grau, Valencia, Spain.
The Museu de l'arròs de València displays the history of rice farming through exhibits on production methods, agricultural tools, and traditional milling equipment arranged across multiple gallery rooms. The collection traces the entire process from crop to finished grain.
The museum occupies a former rice mill built by Serra that once processed harvests from Valencia's coastal wetlands during the region's agricultural growth. This location preserves the direct connection between the building and its original milling purpose.
Rice cultivation shaped the region's food traditions and daily life, as shown through the museum's displays of farming methods and kitchen practices. Visitors notice how this crop became central to local identity and continues to influence what people eat today.
The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 to 14:00 and 15:00 to 19:00, with shorter hours on Sundays until 15:00. Walking from Valencia's city center to the Grau neighborhood allows visitors to explore the surrounding area after their visit.
The museum displays original rice processing machinery and equipment preserved from decades ago, allowing visitors to see the moving parts and mechanisms used to clean and sort grain. These working machines show exactly how the mill operated when it was active.
