    (Translated by Google) This museum is incredible, you come in to know the work of this artist. In fact you learn about his way of working, his works and his genius. His works have had a stylized model where the drapes are as thin as lace. The great works of an incredible reality. His crib is gigantic and contains several hundred characters and animals. His great works retrace the life of Christ from the last supper to the Stations of the Cross. Some exceeding 1300 kg. The craziest thing is that during Holy Week they are carried by loan of 28 people and just pass through the doors. The museum visit begins on the 2nd floor to descend to the ground floor of a basilica where the greatest works rest in their place and leave only for the procession. (Original) Ce musée est incroyable, vous entrez pour connetre l'œuvre de cet artiste. En fait vous apprenez sur sa façon de travailler, ses œuvres et son génie. Ses œuvres ont eu une maquette stylisée ou les drapés sont aussi fins que de la dentelle. Les grandes œuvres d'une incroyable réalité. Sa crèche est gigantesque et comporte plusieurs centaines de personnages et d'animaux. Ses œuvres les grandes retracent la vie du Christ de la cène au chemin de croix. Certaines dépassant les 1300 kg. Le plus fou c'est qu'en semaine sainte elles sont portées par prêt de 28 personnes et passent juste par les portes. La visite du musée commence par le 2 ème étage pour descendre au rez-de-chaussée d'une basilique ou les plus grandes œuvres reposent à leur place et ne sortent que pour la procession.

    A must see in Murcia, to appreciate its cultural richness and traditions. Even if you are not a fan of art, it's an experience of life, culture and history of Murcia. Plan a good hour to appreciate the museum. I recommend the tour guide. And if it is with Olga, even more.

    It's OK, interesting story behind the sculptures made by salzillo, if you are not religious but admire art this is a nice place, if you are neither. It is not recommended at all. I took the tour guide with Olga, she was amazing. Tour well detailed.
