Sorolla Museum

Museum in Madrid, public and state institution. Former house of the Valencian painter Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, who lived there in his last years, until his death in 1923.

The collection of the Sorolla Museum mainly consists of paintings that belonged to the artist himself. This museum, like no other, houses the majority of Sorolla's most famous works, among them Walk on the beach, The Pink Robe, or The Little Sailing Boat, among many others.

The garden displayed by the house is preserved exactly as Sorolla designed it, with hundreds of drawings in the museum attesting to this. The painter wanted to capture every detail of the dwelling, striving to ensure its architecture and decor were fully in line with his taste. The details are meticulously cared for: plants, outdoor furniture, and water fountains are still present and functioning as they did almost 100 years ago.

Works by other notable artists can also be found in the museum, for example, sculptures by Auguste Rodin and Mariano Benlliure. There are also hundreds of pieces of ceramics, photographs, and paintings.
