Museo Salzillo

Museo Salzillo is a quiet and meaningful place to visit. The figurines are beautifully crafted, each telling its own story, making the experience both peaceful and enriching.

Not a traditional museum, but excellent if you like or want to learn about nativity scenes and processional statues (pasos de Semana Santa). The museum has one of the best Neapolitan nativity scenes in the world (huge and with amazing artistic detail), two Spanish nativity sets, a complete collection of procession statues for Good Friday (a Catholic festivity remembering the crucifixion of Christ), and some models and explanations on how images are designed and executed. A very specific museum, but excellent in its genre. The museum is partially situated in a church so you get as a bonus a look at a pretty amazing church.

The museum is quite interesting. You have the museum in the beginning and then the church. There is an option of the guide tour. The price for the entrance is 5 euros per person. I would highly recommend for the visit.

Easy to walk to from the cathedral. Spent about an hour looking around really enjoyed it here. Some amazing carvings, really interesting place. Small charge for entry €3 PP with a visit

Very interesting experience. The museum leads into the church. The first exhibit is work a view in itself - and extensive neopolitan depiction of the Holy land at the time of Christ, all in miniature works. Rest of the museum details preparatory work, sketches and process for producing Salzillo's sculptures, his nativity scene and the Easter Procession. Interesting in its own right, but particularly those interested in the Easter procession.

The museum was opened a few years ago, it contains the original Baroque religious sculptures made by Salzillo, the Murcian artist who lived during the Inquisition, in the 18th century. The entry fee is around 3/5 € and it includes the chapel of Jesus. The sculptures are used during the procession on Good Friday, before Easter. The museum was visited by the King of Spain for a recent exhibition and is kept really well.

one of the best museums I have ever been..quiet interesting how the connect the museum to the church from all directions and the windows that give u acces to look at the church from top inside and outside..highly reommended

It's OK, interesting story behind the sculptures made by salzillo, if you are not religious but admire art this is a nice place, if you are neither. It is not recommended at all. I took the tour guide with Olga, she was amazing. Tour well detailed.
