Goya Museum, Art museum in Casco Antiguo, Spain
The Goya Museum is an art museum housed in a 17th-century palace building displaying Spanish paintings, drawings, and prints from many centuries. The galleries show works by artists such as El Greco, Velázquez, and Murillo alongside a large collection of historical objects.
The museum was founded in 1894 when the family of Marcel Briguiboul donated three original Goya paintings, establishing the foundation for its Spanish art collection. This founding shaped the museum's focus on Spanish artists and their works.
The museum displays works that tell the story of Spain through painting and how different artists saw their time. You can see how Spanish artistic style changed over centuries and what subjects mattered to artists back then.
The museum offers guided tours in several languages and visitor routes can focus on different art periods. Plan enough time to explore the different rooms and collections at a pace that suits you.
The museum houses one of Goya's largest works: the painting 'La Junta de Filipinas', displayed in the permanent collection. Alongside this impressive work, visitors can also view his self-portrait and an unfinished portrait by Francisco del Mazo.
