Museum of Santa Cruz

Loved the El Greco paintings. Just amazing artist and his art. The museum is small but free. The cloister is beautiful. A little more direction from the staff or signs would be helpful.

I would like to state that the Santa Cruz museum was really unique and beautiful when I visited back in February. Although the main exhibition halls were closed due to renovations, the temporary exhibition halls did manage to make up for the fact. There were two on going exhibitions at the time of the renovations to the main hall, both of whom possessed a great interest through their contents. If anyone wishes to have a more extensive context and review they can go into the About me section in my profile for a more extensive review.

What a lovely little museum tucked away just steps from the bustle of a busy plaza. Unassuming but a delight to behold. It is not big and fancy but it has a courtyard reminiscent of a moorish garden and the interior is lined with some stunning artifacts spanning the history of Toledo. If you love pottery they have a very nice collection of vessels and tiles. I was surprised by the number of El Grecco paintings that it housed, all in magnificent condition. This is worth while seeing.

The entrance for the time being is free. They're open until 18:00. It's a beautiful place to visit, and the exhibition was really interesting. I recommend it. There was a textile exhibition as well but i did not take any pictures. It's worth the visit.

Visiting the Santa Cruz Museum in Toledo, Spain, was an enlightening journey through the rich tapestry of history and culture. From the meticulously preserved artifacts to the splendid architecture of the museum itself, every moment spent here whisked me away to Spain's illustrious past. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, providing insightful glimpses into various epochs, making it an educational and captivating visit. The staff deserves special mention for their friendliness and expertise, eagerly sharing their knowledge, further enriching my experience. The ambiance is serene, allowing for a peaceful exploration through the well-laid-out galleries.

Entrance is free . Has some el-greco paintings. So I case tis Monday and u cannot enter the el greco Museum u can check this

When I visited much of this museum was closed off (I think in transition between exhibitions), however the three elements I was able to see left me happy to have been. These were a lovely cloister and stairway, a (I think) permanent collection of ceramics, and a temporary exhibition of beautiful paintings by a chap called Juan Berenguel. I also managed to visit on one of the free days. Lovely.

A must visit in Toledo. Spanish masterpieces from throughout the centuries, including several from El Greco.
