A DEFINITE YES!
Why is there no 6-star rating.
Oh my goodness, this place is super duper amazing and to top it all, FREE ENTRY on SATURDAYS.
Not to be missed, up close with sculptures dating way way way back, and so wonderfully preserved.
The workers/volunteers are VERY helpful, knowledgeable and courteous.
Top 3 sites in Valladolid, must visit.

In my opinion this is a must see. Very nice staff. English translation available. I wish there were more books available in English but happy with the mini-guide. Thank you

All of the sculptures are breath-taking! The building itself is also gorgeous. It took around 2 hours for me to walk through the whole museum at a leisurely pace. Like many other reviews say, the sculptures are mainly wood carvings and religious statues. Don't come here expecting more modern pieces, there are other galleries and museums for that. If you go into the museum knowing what types of sculptures are on display, you won't be dissappointed!

A very fine collection, these wooden sculptures are very well preserved, we visited them carefully for 2 hours.

Plenty of information in English. Beautiful building. Only has religious iconography though.

The museum is worth visiting just to see the Colegio de San Gregorio, which is a spectacular building. Otherwise the collection of religious sculptures did not really wake up my interest, but I understand that they are valuable for the local history and culture. Would be great if more information about the building (San Gregorio) and e.g. the decorative ceilings would be provided, but maybe I missed something. I payed 1,5€ for the entrance, since I received a 50% discount for presenting Renfe train ticket. Great value for money. The stuff is very kind.

There were definitely some interesting pieces - for example, the fully articulated, life-sized man - but for being the national Museum of sculpture, I was quite disappointed. Worth seeing for what it is, but keep your expectations tempered.

Great museum. All the statues are of a religious nature. The ceilings come from monasteries and abbeys around Valladolid. Beautiful art work. The staff were extremely helpful and informative.
