Casa Museo Benlliure
About This Museum
You'd never guess that behind this unassuming facade on a quiet Ciutat Vella street lives the complete, frozen-in-time world of an entire artistic dynasty. Step through the door and you're instantly transported to 1910, enveloped in the very air the Benlliure family breathed. The place feels less like a museum and more like they've just stepped out for a paseo, with José's paintbrushes still resting on an easel and personal trinkets scattered about. It’s an intimate glimpse into the daily life and creative chaos of one of Valencia's most celebrated clans.
Collection Highlights
You'll find José Benlliure's richly detailed canvases sharing space with his brother Mariano's delicate sculptures and his son Pepino's charming paintings—a true family affair. Don't miss José's personal collection of Valencian ceramics or the beautiful small oratory tucked away inside, a serene private chapel filled with religious art.
Visitor Information
Tucked away at 23 Blanqueria Street, it's a perfect hidden gem to escape the bustle. Pop in any day except Monday; it's wonderfully compact, so you can soak it all up in under an hour without rushing.
Architecture & Building
A traditional Valencian townhouse from the late 19th century, its simple exterior gives way to a bright interior patio, high ceilings, and rooms arranged around a central axis, typical of the period's middle-class homes.
