Museo Azul de la Semana Santa - MASS
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet, sloping street in the heart of Lorca's old town, you'll find this unexpectedly modern museum dedicated to the city's famously elaborate Holy Week processions. Stepping inside is like discovering the secret workshop where all the magic happens. The air feels almost reverent, filled with the scent of polished wood and old fabric from robes worn for centuries. It’s a surprisingly intimate and immersive look at a tradition that absolutely defines this place.
Collection Highlights
The real showstoppers are the breathtaking embroideries—imagine biblical scenes stitched with real gold and silver thread onto vast silk banners so heavy it takes a team of men to carry them. You get up close to intricate thrones and see the painstakingly restored costumes for the horses, which is something you don't see every day.
Visitor Information
It's right on Cuesta de San Francisco, super easy to find while wandering. Definitely check their opening hours online before you go as they can change with the seasons, and it's worth planning an hour or two to really take it all in.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a beautifully restored historic building, its clean, contemporary interior design creates a stark but beautiful contrast with the ancient religious artifacts on display.
