    visited on Saturday afternoon. free admission to 4 exhibition halls and the garden. the last one is a true jewel! very beautiful and inspiring place with a wide variety of trees, creative water stream, benches to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. as for the exhibitions, I really lacked the descriptions to each of the works; for me personally it was hard to perceive the idea behind them and understand what unites them all

    Very nice building rehabilitated from an old ceramic factory. The building is huge and full of contemporary art. Some arts are very interesting. It is definitely worth a visit.

    Nice photography museum which alternates a permanent collection with temporal ones. If you're into contemporary art, check it! Entrance is free for the gallery, although you can take a guided tour which includes the bomb refuge from the war for seven euros. Staff is really nice.

    Beautiful space - it’s worth visiting even just for enjoying the architecture. If you’re into photography, this is a must visit - the photo exhibition (I think it’s called “SCULPTING REALITY.”) is by far the best one I’ve seen in Valencia so far. The staff is genuinely friendly and fun.

    Such a pleasing venue away from the rat run of other museums. The rooms are separated but still linked and the exhibits we saw were very different being visual, touch and interactive. Wait till you see the gardens

    Wow! I loved this gallery. It’s privately owned by a family that displays its art for free. The family also has day car for kids and mental health services for people with mental as l health issues. The art was diverse and interesting. I loved it, and I usually don’t like modern art much. The garden is lovely too. This is definitely the best gallery in Valencia. Highly recommend a visit.

    Spacious exhibition venue. The staff was very informative and helpful. Some exhibitions don’t allow any bag inside, so you’ll have to leave it in a locker (1€). There were 3 exhibitions when I was there: 2 free ones and 1 paid. It was a pity that the garden was closed for renovation.

    Guide tour is excellent to know the garden, medieval winery, and air-ride shelter. All is very well preserve. Art spaces are huge and they also host Ricard Camarena' Restaurant with 2 Michelin stars.

    Absolutely fascinating exposition space that let you disconnect and dive into museum content.

    Saw a good photography exhibition here. A member of staff complained that I was gesturing too close to the photographs. I said "ok" and kept my hands in at my sides despite being nowhere near the photos in the 1st place. She then proceeded to follow us around the exhibition and into the garden. Weird.

    Beautiful building and garden, from an old factory, starting by a private initiative mediating 'Per Amor a l'Art' foundation, this cultural space is a museum by itself and an envelope where to show artworks. Also you can enjoy a meal in one of the best restaurants in the Valencia Comunity.

    This was disappointing. - I thought they would be art works displayed - found out the collection was not being displayed. - they are only open on Saturdays and Sundays - from 12pm and at 530pm - save your money and go the fine arts museum!

  • 2/5 tiffany p. 5 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Really disappointing. A great space, a converted old warehouse, obviously lots of money to back the project but rarely has any good shows & the opening times are eccentric to say the least. A really mixed bunch of art, as if uncurated & bought by different people with different views on art. It´s free but is often not worth the walk.

  • 5/5 Ana M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful space with interesting exhibits. Free entry. Definitely worth a visit

  • 5/5 Urška D. 2 years ago on Google
    Very lovely place. Nice exhibition in a nicely restorated old factory with gorgeous garden in the back.

  • 4/5 Koen Van de W. 4 months ago on Google
    Small but impressive air raid shelter for the former factory workers during the civil war. The factory was producing hydraulic pumps that are called bombas too in Spanish, just like the bombs that the workers sheltered from in the war. The entire site is now an art and congress centre, with an intimate and lush garden.

    One of the free museums to visit in valencia!

  • 5/5 Jasper C. 9 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    As a tourist visiting Valencia for the first time, this is one of the best hidden spots within the city to check out, the space is spacious with four large rooms in total. The best part about the gallery is the garden at the back with the lush trees with the industrial building facade. A definite must go for visitors searching for something new.

  • 5/5 Luis M. 10 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Philippe B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great settings for temporary collection. A bit far off the city center but plenty of transportation to get there. Free entrance, with additional cost for some temporary exhibition.

    Small but beautiful, I loved the garden was very peaceful

  • 5/5 Lorenzo 1 year ago on Google
    Such a nice museum with free entrance. I’d totally recommend visiting it.

    beautiful industrial space, worth visiting!!

  • 4/5 Oliver P. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting space, worth the visit. Can do it in 30 mins without feeling rushed, an hour is ideal depending on how much you like what’s on.
