The Museu de Belles Arts de València (Valencian pronunciation: [muˈzɛw ðe ˈbeʎez ˈaɾdz de vaˈlensia]; Spanish: Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia; English: "Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia") is an art gallery in Valencia, Spain, founded in 1913. It houses some 2,000 works, most dating from the 14th–17th centuries, including a Self portrait of Diego Velázquez, a St. John the Baptist by El Greco, Goya's Playing Children, Gonzalo Pérez's Altarpiece of Sts. Ursula, Martin and Antony and a Madonna with Writing Child and Bishop by the Italian Renaissance master Pinturicchio. It houses a large series of engravings by Giovan Battista Piranesi.

This museum is simply beautiful. There are many impressive works of art here and it is free to visit too. Allow around 45 minutes to explore all in detail.

The Museum is beautiful. You can easily spend around 2 hours there. The building is beautiful itself. There are 2 main sections, and a third section for temporary exhibitions. During my visit in October 2023, the temporary exhibition was a beautiful Sorolla collection. The entrance is free of charge.

Best museum in Valencia! The doors are usually closed so don’t be afraid and go in. The museum was free entry for us but I don’t know if that was because it was a weekend, however, I still believe it’s worth a visit! There’s a combination of holy paintings, Greco paintings, ceramics, historical paintings, etc. Its a huge museum that has everything you could desire and it has a stunning blue patio which is great for photos. You will be told to leave your belongings in a locker which costs €1 but it will give you the money back. If you don’t have any change, go to the reception as they will give you a coin for use.

Free activity to do in the city is nice. You have to pay for a locker to put your bag they won’t let you bring it in.

I visited the site twice due to my first visit I got hungry, It was free, not crowded, and had a large range of different pieces though no typical known masters. That said I enjoyed the museum and found several pieces that were quite interesting to me.

Well air-conditioned gallery. Significant amount of Christian religious art. Some nice pieces and goo ld to look quietly around. No cafe and poor signage on different galleries. Free entry and open till 8pm most days except Monday

Amazing museum with large permanent exhibitions covering religious art, painting & sculpture. Great collection of local artists displayed chronologically. I was lucky to meet an incredible temporary exhibition of famously known Valencian artist Sorolla which was extraordinary. The museum is free which is so generous and the facilities are great with many bathrooms and handicap access. The only downside for me was that you need to leave your bag and water in a locker that works with only works with euro coins (which is given back). That’s a headache If you don’t bring any cash which is not that uncommon nowadays.

The ticket was free of charge. The Francisco Goya part impressed me the most. A very nice opportunity to get aquatinted with one of the most significant series, which is “LOS CAPRICHOS”. The overall museum was an aesthetically pleasing experience. Must visit.

The entrance was free, we were visiting on a Friday. There are 2 main sections: one covering pre-nineteen century with religious works and one after-nineteen century covering both paintings and sculptures. The location looks good and is clean, and there was also a temporary exhibition with paintings done by Spanish painters that were influenced by Rome. The only minor thing is that in one small section, there was sewage smell.

its free. small but good display including goya and velazquez. christians on the XVI century were nuts.

(Translated by Google) A large and beautiful museum. Its permanent exhibitions are essential to see, an exhibition of sculpture of exceptional quality and other pavilions and rooms with great value for their painting content. One of my favorites in Valencia (Original) Un museo amplio y bonito. Sus exposiciones permanentes son imprescindibles de ver, una exposición de escultura de calidad excepcional y otros pabellones y salas con gran valor por su contenido en pintura. De mis favoritos en Valencia

This place was okay as all of the artwork had a religious tone to it. Not that it is bad, but just an FYI for others. I would have given it four stars but I had to put my bag in one of those little cubicles which required 1 euro and the staff didn't have change for me from 2 euro which I think is a bit unacceptable.

The museum gets 5-stars from me for several reasons. At 2€ or less depending on your age or educational status it's a bargain. The museum is peaceful, well-kept and has friendly staff. They have a fairly substantial collection of perfectly preserved religious-themed paintings along with some pieces carved in Alabaster. Their works span from the mid-1400’s into the 1800’s by talented and some well-known artists. The details and colors in many of the older works are still vivid, spectacular really, especially considering their age. Other than in one painting from the 1400’s of St. Michael the Archangel spearing an evil beast, almost no one else in any painting was really cracking a smile. Even the cat was angry. You would think that nobody had any fun at all for over 350 years, except for St. Michael.

Perfectly curated galleries showcasing fine art from the 12th to the 19th century. The religious art is beautifully presented with well preserved alter pieces. Free entry.

This museum is definitely a gem. Moreover, it’s free! Although I’m not a fan of medieval art, the collection here is quite impressive. There are some Sorolla’s paintings and artworks related to him. Don’t forget to check out the court garden; it’s super lovely. The staff members were also friendly.

(Translated by Google) Free museum with a variety of religious art (Original) Museo gratuito con gran variedad de arte religioso

My Spanish isn't super great so I had a hard time with some of the signs and speaking to staff but overall nice experience. Been here twice, weekends are definitely busy but during the week you have the museum for yourself. Enjoy a sit in the garden as well! No fee to enter and a lot of art, although the corresponding signs didnt cover much information.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful, it has large rooms with authentic jewels, it is the third time I have seen it, and a curious fact the first time 15 years ago with my family. And to this day it is intact. Very well cared for and preserved, and clean in general With public toilets (Original) Muy bonito tiene grandes salas con auténticas joyas es la tercera vez que lo veo.Y un dato curioso la primera vez hace 15 años con mi familia. Y al día de hoy está intacto. Muy bien cuidado y conservado, y limpieza en general.Con aseos públicos

A must visit! A very interesting museum! Enjoyed with my daughter. There is a place where you can leave big bags, you just need to have 1 € with you. Friendly staff will tell you everything. Be sure to take the museum plan, it's easier to navigate the building! Free admission on weekends. Sunday open until 14.00

The gallery is very interesting and well organized: a wide exhibition of the most precious Catalan and European art from XIII to the XIX century. Francisco Ribalta, Velasquez, Luca Giordano, and Bruegel are just a few names that you will find here

Very nice and well maintained museum, especially the last floor (lots of Sorolla and his followers). Don’t miss the impressive huge painting in the entrance! The only downside are the security guards, they follow you everywhere and it feels a bit u comfortable....(but that’s their job so it’s ok 😁)

Not bad for a free museum, i think so or quite low price but we were looking at the pictures and that’s it, no real guidance though. The pictures were quite nice, some of them, painted by the local artists, the best ones. But we were visitors and not so into arts so we did not so much about the whole history behind the pictures and in the end was a nice walk.

(Translated by Google) Enjoying classical art is priceless, works by Velazquez, Goya, Ribera, Juan de Juanes ... (Original) Disfrutar del arte clásico no tiene precio, obras de Velazquez, Goya, Ribera, Juan de Juanes...

Pleasant place to visit for an hour. The art on display too modern for my taste but seems to regularly change.

This is a great museum. The staff were pleasant, the collection was voluminous, and it's beautifully-displayed. Top it off it's free. No complaints. Went with my wife and two kids who are young. We really enjoyed it.

(Translated by Google) I was delighted to see the reconstruction of Ambassador Vich's Renaissance courtyard. It is always good to spend a while to contemplate the wonderful works they have, especially Gothic altarpieces, Juan de Juanes, Ribera, Ribalta, Sorolla ... The building is also unique. (Original) Me ha encantado ver la reconstrucción del patio renacestista del Embajador Vich. Siempre está bien pasarse un rato a contemplar las maravillosas obras que tienen, sobre todo retablos góticos, Juan de Juanes, Ribera, Ribalta, Sorolla... El edificio también es singular.

Touted as Spain’s second finest gallery of fine arts. If it is its organisation is disappointing. There is intimidating number of security guards who wear almost like police uniforms. Super unpleasant experience. The map is super confusing and incorrect as the 19-20c art will need three attempts to find it. Gothic art is great not much else in honesty. You will find yourself walking is narrow corridors for the most part. Reception staff don’t really talk English and guess what exhibits have descriptions only in Spanish and Valenciano. Why? But it’s free.

This evening I dedicated to Sorolla exebition and Fine art museum. That is perfect place who searching for positive art emotions. I'm fond of thematic and painting colors. Recommend as one of the best places in Valencia these days.

(Translated by Google) Great.. (Original) Genial..

Architectural gem with mainly 16th -18th Century Spanish art, including Soralla, Goya & Velasquez. Free admission and open every day except Monday.

The main collection of the museum are religious paintings. Although the surroundings in which the paintings are set is of top quality, the paintings themselves cannot always convince me. One exception for the more expressionistic section on the second floor. A must is to also visit the gardens next to the museum.

A bit too heavy on the religious art for my taste, but everything was beautiful, well displayed, and it’s FREE to enter. It is small so you only need to spend a couple hours in it. If you’re in Valencia and you like art, you should probably make your way over there. It’s supposedly the 2nd most important art museum in Spain. The bus (6 & 11) drop you off at the front door but you have to walk a while to catch the bus back downtown. (Cross the bridge, take a left and walk down to the bus stop down by the old ruins. It’s probably 15 minutes away.) I probably wouldn’t go back a second time but I’m glad i went the first.

Very beautiful building and exhibitions, it was free and definitely worth the visit. We looked at everything and it took us approximately two hours, and we took our time.

Worth a visit. A good range of art in a lovely setting. Free entry. Some great Goya drawings and an El Greco painting. Quite a lot of religious art. I would give it for stars if it actually had some English translations

A place to escape the heat of the sun and its free.

Wunderschönes Museum mit freundlichem Personal. Die Kunstwerke sind geprägt von katholischer Kunst & dem spanischen Königshaus. Der kleine Garten im inneren des Gebäudes ist wunderschön und gepflegt. Die Beschriftungen an den Bildern sind allerdings nur in spanisch & Katalanisch, eine englische Beschriftung wäre toll.

Interesting museum, especially paintings, mostly of religious art. Beautiful building, amazingly well restored pieces of art, some great names of the world painting: Goya, Van Dyke, El Greco. Pleasant visit.

Lots of artworks, very spacious free museum, unfortunately difficult to navigate through the building galleries, signs are not very clear

The second largest art gallery in Spain, woth works from the 15th to the 19th century, including rooms dedicated to the underrated Valencian painter Joaquin Sorolla, as well as room dedicated to Francisco de Goya. We visited museum on Sunday and the entrance was free of charge and it wasn’t crowded with art admirers, so we were able to enjoy our time there. Two hours is the approximate time to be spent there.

Lovely museum. Not very crowded when we went. Not too big, with handicap accessible areas throughout. It's free admission, but you must get a ticket at the front desk, upon entry.

Quite and interesting collection of art work.. Worth to spend some time when you visit valencia

If you are into culture and arts, this place is for you. I almost cried when I saw paintings of Velazquez, Goya and Ribera in real. The entrance is free of charge like most of the cultural things in Valencia, but I'd go again even if I should pay.

The museum is spectacular. It has only 2 floors but it is worth visiting and the sculptures at the entrance are unique. It has a small outdoor garden which is beautiful but at that moment the fountain wasn't working.Also the entrance is free. Don't miss it especially if you like art.

A lot of valuable painting altar piece. Very nice display. Is this place a must visit museum in valencia and Free. By the way they should have english.

Very impressed both by the building itself and the pictures included, not a great lover of all religious painting but can certainly appreciate the stunning picture. The lady who greeted us at reception was really welcoming

Free entry as of this writing… mostly religious paintings. A good museum to stop by to appreciate quality works of art, and also a great plan for a rainy day.

Free to enter. Lovely collection of Renaissance and 19th Century art with a focus on local artist Spanish born Sorollo. Good access and a spacious and well laid out building with plenty of washrooms.

A beautiful museum with excellent the display of works of art. 🖼🎨 Lovely space, clean, well maintained. An absolute delight for all art lovers. It also has a beautiful garden. Entrance is free.

If you're Catholic, this museum has an excellent collection of religious works. Additionally, the Goya exhibit is very nice. There are also a handful of lesser known paintings by some of the old masters Velasquez, Goya, etc... It's a very nice museum that's easily accessible.

Beautiful museum with lots of Spanish painters - and classic Valencian painters, too! Entrance is free and they're open almost everyday. It's never too busy and there are gorgeous outdoor spaces to enjoy.

Art gallery located on the edge of Old Town Valencia worth visiting to escape the afternoon heat. Entry is free. Full tour of the entire gallery takes 1 - 2 hours.

It’s a stunning place with sunning artwork. Everywhere you turn around to see is absolutely inspiring. I believe that one day is not enough to appreciate these beautiful art pieces. My favorite section: Joaquin Sorolla Archives

The museum is filled to the brim with beautiful paintings from across the centuries. A lot of it is religious art with a Catholic focus, but there's plenty to be seen here, including a Botticelli piece. The building itself is incredibly special - as you walk through the grand doors you're met with a magnificent foyer under the sapphire blue dome itself. The courtyard filled with palm trees took my breath away, and to top it all off it was completely free! Not to mention it is very clean, the receptionist was very helpful, and there were security everywhere so it felt safe.

Good place to visit if you have some spare time. This is a free of charge exhibit. There are several floors, mostly paintings, but also some cool sculptures. Depending on when you visit, they also have some featured artist and their works.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful building, which alone would be worth a visit. Good collection of art; standing out the picture gallery and the splendid sculptures. Although there are some pieces by renowned authors (Goya, Alonso Cano, Velázquez), the presence of works by Valencian artists stands out for obvious reasons. The works of primitive locals follow one another, along with the Ribera, Maella, Vergara, Sorolla, ... among others, and of course, the Pinazo and Benlliure families. Interesting temporary exhibitions. And looking for improvements, he needs to fill that gap, of almost a century of contemporary art. Very difficult to park in the area. (Original) Hermoso edificio, que por sí solo, merecería la pena recibir una visita. Buena colección de arte; sobresaliendo la pinacoteca y las espléndidas esculturas. Aunque no faltan algunas piezas de autores de renombre (Goya, Alonso Cano, Velázquez), destaca por razones obvias, la presencia de obras de artistas valencianos. Se suceden las obras de primitivos locales, junto a los Ribera, Maella, Vergara, Sorolla,...entre otros, y cómo no, las familias Pinazo y Benlliure. Interesantes exposiciones temporales. Y buscando mejoras, necesita cubrir ese hueco, de casi un siglo de arte contemporáneo. Muy difícil aparcar por la zona.

(Translated by Google) It is wonderful and highly recommended, for all art lovers. (Original) Es maravilloso y muy recomendable, para todos los amantes del arte.

(Translated by Google) Hands down, my favorite museum in town. You can enjoy from remains of the Roman era, the Andalusian, Gothic, Baroque legacy ... (Original) Sin discusión, mi museo favorito en la ciudad. Puedes disfrutar desde restos de época Romana, del legado Andalusí, Gótico, Barroco...

(Translated by Google) I loved (Original) Me encanto

(Translated by Google) An underrated and forgotten gem of Valencia. Nothing to envy to large art galleries. I know it by heart, and I would come back a thousand times more. Free admission is appreciated. Surprised and sorry to never see it full of people. (Original) Una joya infravalorada y olvidada de Valencia. Nada que envidiar a grandes pinacotecas. Me lo se de memoria, y volvería mil veces más. Se agradece la entrada gratuita. Sorprendido y apenado de no verlo jamás lleno de gente.

Great collection of art. Especially enjoyed Goya, Velasques and Sorolla.

(Translated by Google) It's grand (Original) Грандиозно

(Translated by Google) Its collection of Gothic altarpieces is spectacular. I was only able to stay a little while, but it is to go early because it has an interesting collection of paintings. The Sorolla room seemed small to me, being a Valencian painter of that importance, it should have a little more prominence in the museum, since there is not one dedicated to him in the city. An essential site for those who love art. Do not stop visiting it. (Original) Espectacular su colección de retablos góticos. Solo pude estar un pequeño rato, pero es para ir con tiempo porque tiene una interesante colección de cuadros. La sala de los Sorolla me pareció pequeña, al ser un pintor valenciano de esa importancia debería tener algo más de protagonismo en el museo, ya que no hay uno dedicado a él en la ciudad. Un sitio imprescindible para los que aman el arte. No dejes de visitarlo.

(Translated by Google) It is very worth it. (Original) Vale mucho la pena.

(Translated by Google) Very nice, the beautiful Palleter statue. (Original) Muy bonito, la estatua del Palleter preciosa.

Un museo de 10!

Beautiful museum. You can do it all in 20 minutes. Free on Sundays.

You should not expect the very big thing but a nice stop f.e. on the way to the beaches 😉 surprisingly free of charge. A bit religiously dominated and medieval Flamenco on the museum map is not the traditional dance 💃💥 from southern Spain 😉😯😂 I thought so to and so did the security guy, telling me that they changed the pictures revently 😎😂😂😂 the information is rather poor as we talk about a quite touristy city.....

Fantastic museum featuring art and artefacts from about 700 years. Best bit - it's free! The bottom floor is largely dedicated to Valencian Gothic Art, Renaissance and Baroque while the first and second floor display a collection of Spanish, Flemish and Italian art. Most famous painters include Joaquin Sorolla. The museum is located in a lovely building with several courtyards. Not a busy place, I was surprised. It also has a restaurant. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to try out the menu del dia which looked delicious on paper.

Really good, they take all the measures of safety. Apart from that there are a great variaty of paintings, specially good is its Middle Age and Contemporary expositions. I just can say that I expected more Sorolla Paintings of the seaside.Recommendable!

Very nice museum. Free entry. Large selection of Spanish religious art. Small selection of roman and romanesque artifacts. Quite a lot of the galleries were closed when I was there as was the shop. There was a temporary Picasso - Cela exhibition. Unfortunately very little of the permanent or temporary galleries has English translations. Nice cafe (menu is in the photos). Nice clean toilets.

They have a lot of exhibit, mostly religious art. The entrance was free when we came on a Sunday

I really appreciate the artwork placed on display at these museums, it was well worth my time! To top it off, entrance was free.

(Translated by Google) Nice (Original) Bonito

We did a short first visit to the museum. We explored first floor to admire the altarpieces and paintings. We went to up to find Velasquez' gallery. Museum' map tells the important painting you museum see if you are doing a quick visit. We have to come back with more time to see the galleries in details and see the second floor and outside patios. It is free.

The pieces of art in the museum are just amazing, and the building in general is fascinating. However, I was disappointed to see that more than 90% of the museum covers the religious theme. Precisely, paintings on Jesus Christ and the virgin. I was looking forward seeing more variety.
