Pérez Comendador-Leroux Museum
About This Museum
You might not expect to find a treasure trove of early 20th-century sculpture and painting tucked away in the old Jewish Quarter of Hervás, but that's the charm of this place. It feels more like stepping into the lifelong home and studio of the artists, Enrique Pérez Comendador and his wife, Magdalena Leroux, than a formal museum. Their creative spirits seem to linger in every room. The collection is a beautiful testament to their shared life in art, from Enrique's powerful bronzes to Magdalena's delicate portraits.
Collection Highlights
Look for Enrique's evocative 'El Segador' (The Reaper), a bronze figure that seems to carry the weight of the land itself. Don't miss Magdalena's intimate pastel portraits, which capture a remarkable softness and depth of character. Together, their work tells a complete story of artistic partnership.
Visitor Information
It's right on Calle Asensio Neila—just wander through the quarter's characteristic narrow streets and you'll find it. A visit here is a perfect, quiet escape after exploring the town.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a beautifully restored traditional Hervás house, with its characteristic stone and timber-frame construction, heavy wooden beams, and whitewashed walls that perfectly frame the art within.
