The Sorolla Museum is dedicated to the works of the painter Joaquin Sorolla (Valencia, 1863-Cercedilla, Madrid, 1923).
It was created in 1931, when the Spanish State accepted the legacy of Sorolla's widow, Mrs. Clotilde García del Castillo, who donated the building and all its collections to create a museum in memory of her husband.
The Museum is housed in the house and workshop that the painter had built in 1910-1911. The house is divided into five main areas:
- the garden, created by the painter himself;
- the ground floor, old kitchen area, organized around the so-called Patio Andaluz;
- his work area, consisting of three successive studios;
- the rest of the main floor of the house;
- and the second floor, transformed into exhibition rooms.
A top floor is reserved for the museum offices.
