About Museo Sorolla

After Sorolla's death in 1923 his widow Clotilde donated the family home to the Spanish state. It opened as a public museum in 1932 with the studios and rooms preserved as the painter left them.

The collection holds the largest single group of Sorolla's luminous paintings, set against the original Andalusian-style courtyard garden he designed himself.
