Sorolla Museum, Art museum in Chamberí district, Madrid, Spain
The Sorolla Museum occupies the former home and studio of painter Joaquín Sorolla in the Chamberí district of Madrid. The collection shows more than 1,200 works, including oil paintings, drawings, and preparatory studies, alongside personal belongings and letters.
Architect Enrique María Repullés designed the building in the late 19th century as a home and workspace for the painter. Clotilde García del Castillo, widow of Sorolla, donated the house to the Spanish state in 1932, which opened it as a museum.
The rooms preserve furniture and objects that Sorolla used in daily life, including Spanish and European antiques from his personal collection. The garden follows the layout the painter designed himself, with Andalusian elements like fountains and ceramic tiles.
The museum sits at Paseo del General Martínez Campos 37, reachable from metro stations Gregorio Marañón and Iglesia. Opening hours run Tuesday to Saturday from 9:30 to 20:00 and Sunday from 10:00 to 15:00.
The Spanish state has acquired additional works since 1982 to expand the collection and represent the painter's output more fully. Photographs and private letters offer insight into everyday routines and working methods of Sorolla.
