Museo de Escultura Ursi
About This Museum
Tucked away on the quiet Calle Tobalina in the historic heart of Aguilar de Campoo, the Museo de Escultura Ursi feels more like a well-kept secret than a formal institution. It's an intimate space where you can get up close and personal with the whimsical, often haunting figures carved by local sculptor Ursicino Martínez. The air itself feels thick with creativity, making it a wonderfully immersive escape from the modern world. This isn't a sprawling museum; it's a condensed journey into one artist's vivid imagination.
Collection Highlights
You'll find yourself circling Martínez's powerful 'El Hombre del Saco' (The Bogeyman), a piece that is both unsettling and mesmerizing. The collection bursts with expressive wooden figures depicting local myths, rustic characters, and scenes that feel pulled from ancient stories, all carved with a raw, emotional energy.
Visitor Information
Given its cozy size, an hour is plenty to soak it all in. It's the perfect cultural pit stop to pair with a coffee in one of Aguilar de Campoo's charming plazas.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a traditional stone building that blends seamlessly with the town's medieval fabric, the exterior gives little away about the modern artistry held within its thick walls.
