Museo Sorolla
Museo Sorolla
 
The Sorolla Museum. Located in the house that was the painter's studio, brings together a good part of the artist's work and paintings of friends of his. The Sorolla Museum is a state owned institution under the Department of Education, Culture and Sports, dependent of the Division of the Fine Arts and Cultural Welfare of the Secretary of State of Culture.

It was created in 1931 when the State accepted the bequest of Sorolla's widow, Clotilde García del Castillo, who donated the building and its entire collection in order to create a museum in memory of her husband. The museum opened to the public on June 11th, 1932, with the painter's son, Mr. Joaquín Sorolla García, as the museum's first curator. The museum was reorganised in the years 2001 and 2002, after great modifications were made in the architecture.

The museum is located in the former home-workshop of the painter Joaquín Sorolla Bastida (1863-1923) who commended its construction between the years 1910 and 1911. It is divided in five different areas: the garden, which surrounds a good part of the building and is another creation of the painter; the bottom floor, that allows us to visit the Andalusian Patio; his work area, integrated by three connecting studios; the rest of the main floor, which was the living destination; and the second floor, where more of his paintings are displayed.


The museum is a scientific and cultural institution. Its activities address both favouring physical and intellectual access to the collections by means of exhibition and spreading of its contents, as its conservation and documentation. It also facilitates the query and study for investigators and guarantees the lending of different objects in the most suitable conditions.
