About

The Museo Salzillo, located in the historic center of Murcia, is a small but remarkable museum dedicated to the life and work of the 18th‑century Baroque sculptor Francisco Salzillo. Visitors can explore a collection that ranges from careful sketches and large‑scale works to the iconic nativity scenes of the Belenes. The museum’s intimate setting allows guests to appreciate the fine detail of each sculpture and to experience the personal touch that Salzillo brought to his art. The museum offers free admission for children under 12 years old and for members of the Co‑fraternity of Jesús Nazareno, making it an accessible cultural outing for families. Guided tours are available twice daily on weekdays and Saturdays during the winter season, with a small group capacity of 15 people, which adds a personalised touch to the visit. A large portion of the collection is displayed on the museum’s first and second floors, with accessible ramps and elevators ensuring that visitors with mobility challenges can enjoy the entire experience. The adjoining shop and laundry facility provide convenient services for visitors who wish to extend their stay. Whether you are a history aficionado, a solo traveler seeking a quiet cultural experience, or a family looking for an engaging, low‑cost activity, the Museo Salzillo offers an intimate window into the world of Spanish Baroque art.
