muBBla, museo de Bordado Paso Blanco
About This Museum
What truly sets muBBla apart is its singular focus on the breathtaking, hand-wrought artistry of the Paso Blanco brotherhood, a tradition that turns fabric into a canvas of devotion and local pride. Stepping inside feels like discovering a hidden treasury, where light glints off centuries of silk and gold thread. You'll find everything from intimate, personal garments to vast, dramatic processional banners that seem to tell entire stories without a single word. It’s a quiet, almost reverent space that immerses you completely in Lorca’s most vibrant heritage.
Collection Highlights
The collection dazzles with over 1,500 pieces, including stunning 19th-century mantles embroidered with such intricate detail you can lose yourself in them. Look for the ceremonial standards and 'pavos,' massive embroidered hangings rich with symbolic imagery, all worked by hand with precious materials.
