Really wonderful museum full of fascinating artefacts. Lovely interactive sections that engage and entertain families. Meandering through the rooms was wonderful and it is easy to spend several hours taking it all in. The cafe square is absolutely stunning! Well worth a visit and can easily understand why it was voted Best European Museum of 2023!

(Translated by Google) Honestly, one of the most surprising museums in Valencia, it shows that they want to do things differently. I've been following the explosions and events for a long time, and every year, I end up enjoying every meter of the new exhibits. They do not leave you indifferent !!! Creativity and good taste are mixed with popular wisdom. 100% recommendable. a greeting (Original) Sinceramente, uno de los museos de Valencia que más sorprenden, se nota que quieren hacer las cosas diferentes. Llevo tiempo siguiendo las explosiones y eventos, y cada año, termino disfrutando cada metro de las nuevas exposiciones. No te dejan indiferente!!! Creatividad y buen gusto se mezclan con la sabiduría popular. Recomendable 100%. Un saludo

Covid-19 pandemic forced us to change our summer vacations plans. We decided to explore places we did not know in Comunitat valenciana. Our Global Learning Adventures took us to Museum of Prehistory of Valencia and "Museo de etnologia de Valencia", both located in the same historic building of "La Beneficiencia". This museum has cool displays if traditions, gadgets, culture, and activiites in Valencian community.

The museum is worth a visit as it displays the authentic lifestyle of valencianos. You’ll find lots of old stuff there, vintage but chic. Besides, there is a parroquia inside the museum. Muy bonita.

Lots to discover about life in València from times gone by in this informative and interesting museum.

Went there to see the exibition "Las Fosas del Franquismo". It was a really nice/good exibition, but also mentally hard - even though it's old history. I'll come back to see rest of the museum at a later time.

(Translated by Google) Right now the museum is a very quiet and safe place. And with patent security measures. It is worth taking now to visit the exhibition "Missing or dying". A very interesting vision and reflection on death from the anthropological and scientific point of view. Highly recommended. Until April 2021 (Original) Ahora mismo el museo es un lugar muy tranquilo y seguro. Y con medidas de seguridad patentes. Vale la pena aprovechar ahora para visitar actualmente la exposición "Faltar o morir" . Una visión y reflexión muy interesante sobre la muerte desde el punto de vista antropológico y científico. Muy recomendable. Hasta abril del 2021

No many information in English language discourages watching the exhibition

It took us 3 visits (free entry) to see everything. The Prehistory and Ethnology museums are both housed in this huge building, which has 6 courtyards and a nice leafy cafe. There are impressive displays of Prehistoric, Iberian, Roman and Visigoth items from the region. Labels are in Valenciano and Spanish but there are English explanation sheets in each room. The Ethnology part shows the settlement and character of Valencia in a series of creative displays which have clearly had a lot of money spent on them. There was just a handful of other visitors at the weekend in August.

We really enjoyed this museum and probably go back again soon as there is a lot to see.

I only got to visit one part of the museum (exhibition about the old and new Spain/València). But it was raining pretty heavy yesterday so our tour was postponed. This museum has a nice layout and the descriptions are written in Castilian, Valencian and English. There is also a café at the ground floor.

The museum is free (January 2024). The exhibition maybe is not astonishing, but modern part is really creative. They have cute children books in well adapted rooms. Plus the animation about human trying to catch a turkey was an absolute gem for my 5 yo ;)

Fascinating, and wonderfully bonkers place. We're led to understand that Valencia's Ethnology Museum is a fairly concise journey through the mindset of the average local over the ages. Presented in an ultra-modern series of settings that play out like a Willy Wonka fever dream, this certainly makes the mind boggle. I'm all for a learning space that engenders introspection, and upends the dynamic of the museum visitor as being merely a voyeur of carefully curated specimens. Far from it, this place makes you question the very meaning of human existence and creativity at every turn. So I say Hurrah, as isn't that what Ethnology's really all about? The museum seems to be either completely free to enter (it was for me, on a Friday in July) or a token €2, which is easily worth it. The museum shares a building, and various entry points, with its neighbour, the Prehistory museum (same ticket). You'll know at any point in the visit which of the two spaces you're occupying, as its neighbour is far more stoic, but equally worth a walk around.

Absolutely deserving of the Museum of the Year award! Incredible exhibition design decisions, each room gets better than the last one. My only regret was not being able to understanding everything, as not all exhibits had English blurbs. Paired with the Prehistoria Museum, coming here made for a perfect afternoon of cultural exploration.

(Translated by Google) Well, I liked the Ninot cook much less and his rice, which is the same to provoke, right? (Original) Pues me ha gustado mucho menos el Ninot cocinero y su arroz que lo misma está puesto para provocar ¿O no?

(Translated by Google) Excellent and emotional trip to the recent past. (Original) Excelente y emotivo viaje al pasado reciente.

Of you want to know more about valencian culture, what's the daily life, how does a usual valencian home looks like, and immerse in a mini cultural exhibit, this museum shows all these. I really enjoyed it! And it's free

(Translated by Google) Entertaining, different and fun exhibition (Original) Exposición amena, distinta y divertida

(Translated by Google) Simply. I liked it, it's worth it. (Original) Simplemente. Me ha gustado, vale la pena.

(Translated by Google) It is a very cool museum, super original, very well decorated. Two euros for normal admission, but on weekends the visit is free. It has a Covid Protocol delimited by arrows on the ground but somewhat limited in information. (Original) Es un Museo chulísimo, súper original, muy bien decorado. Dos euros la entrada normal, pero los fines de semana es gratuita la visita. Tiene un Protocolo Covid delimitado por flechas en el suelo pero algo limitado en información.

Honestly a very underrated museum and it’s a hidden gem!!! I have learnt so many interesting fun facts about the Valencian community. Thoroughly enjoyed it and there is a cute cafe downstairs in the courtyard too. Very relaxing and informative museum🫶🏽

Unexpectedly interesting smartly made exposition! No wonder this museum got the title of European Museum 2023! Free admission on Sundays.

(Translated by Google) That is very good and I liked it (Original) Q esta muy bien y me gusto

Amazing guided visit to the historic memorial to the mass graves of more than 2000 victims of Francoist repression, post civil war, have been found in the cemetery in Picassent Valencia. Reserve it in advance and go in a group.

One of the best museums I've ever been! Like really, I didn't expected that. The main exhibition was probably recently created and it was so interesting! Arrangement and interior design were on the highest level. Also temporary exhibitions about death and denying it was so great and emotional for me (permanent exhibition is rather "lighter"). I really, like really, recommend to visit is, especially that visit is like 3 Euro (sundays free). In building with another museom (Valencian History Museum).

Big museum with beautiful patio. Took me 3 hours. Had two other exhibitions. Very nice staff.

Brilliant ethnomuseum with interesting installation, fantastic temporarry exhibition Morir, about process of transpassing to the death.

Free on Sundays. Nice interior and really large. Just that there is no chronological order to follow during the visit, such a pity

(Translated by Google) A very interesting tour. (Original) Un recorrido muy interesante.

I was greeted by a really helpful member of staff. The exhibitions were of a decent size without being overwhelming. Well worth a visit.

Valencian museum of ethnology is quite fine. Entrance is 2 euros from Monday to Friday but on weekend it’s free. There is no queue, very quiet and nice place. If you are really interested in history and old stuff, it’s a nice place to go. You can also visit the museum of prehistory of valencia.

Plan no less as 2-3 hours (up to a half of day) for visiting of this great museum: etnological and historical in the same place. In one part, you see human evolution and history of poblation of the Iberian peninsula through fenicians etc. In another part, etnological objects of this region: posters, machines, cool installations. Beautiful films which you can enjoy on the way. Visiting on Sunday is free! P.s. lifehack: there is a cool PC where Zou can see your name written in old Iberian letters and send it as e-mail!

I really like the place, very diverse and interesting. Without knowing Spanish wouldn’t be so interesting, there are very little description in English.

A fun museum with less attention to information. Then again, the design of the exhibition is a sight in itself. Pity that the route through the museum is very tight: if you happen to be stuck behind a guided tour (and you will, as many school excursions come here), you'll have no way to pass.

Not as interesting as the prehistory museum but has English translations so it gets more stars from me. And the cafeteria is good too

Well made exhibition. Coherent, interesting to see old appliances from peoples everyday lives, good social commentary.

One of the nicest museums in Valencia, a completely different approach towards ethnology, very nice and colourful. Is has common entry with the anthropological museum. Also an wonderful garden and nice cafetería. From April to September 2023, there's a series of concerts ethnomusic during the nights. Free entrance on weekends.

Free experience about valencian life and agriculture and so much more. Worth a visit. And one of the few experiences with english text available.

Interesting exhibition about money ;-)

Meh

Interesting exposition, some activities for kids, nice yard inside, free wi-fi!

For 2 Euros, cannot complain, however most of the place seemed closed.

Hidden pearl: hard to find the entrance. Once inside it's lovely, interesting expositions that tell the story in an interactive way. Nice shop as well!

It's closed at the moment because of works, only two small temporary exhibitions were open. I wouldn't recommend to visit it until the works are over.

Very interesting place worth visiting for 40-60 minutes

Also known as Prehistory Museum. See previous review, great authentic, reasinably priced tapas cafe and quiet courtyard.
