Museo Sorolla

About

Located at Paseo General Martínez Campos 37 in Madrid’s Almagro district, the Museo Sorolla is a single‑artist museum housed in the former home and studio of the celebrated Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida. The building, designed by Enrique María Repullés, preserves the original furnishings and layout of the artist’s life, including his brightly lit studio filled with large canvases, the spacious family rooms, and the upper galleries used for temporary exhibitions. The museum showcases an extensive collection of Sorolla’s seascapes, portraits and still‑life paintings, many of which are displayed in the original rooms where he worked. Although the museum underwent recent renovations and is temporarily closed with an expected reopening in 2026, its rich collection and intimate setting make it a must‑visit for lovers of late‑19th‑ and early‑20th‑century Spanish art.
