Had a bad experience in this place, the staff was rude and racist since the moment I walked in. The lady in the front desk told me I can't pay with card although there is a sign in the lobby that specifically says they prefer card payments due to covid. It seems she was hoping that I didn't have cash and had to stay out. I did see other people paying their tickets with card without an issue.

When we were going to room I a staff lady asked for our entrance tickets and after scrutinously examining them back and front, said to my friend that her ticket is not valid and she can't access the room!!!. In this post you can see our tickets. My friend's ticket is the one that says "gratuita" and has a stamp of the museum. This lady went as far as saying she doesn't know from where we had that ticket but it was not valid, embarrasing us in front of everyone in the room. I travel a lot and I have never seen anyone getting bounced in a museum!!!! My friend had to explain she has a "familia numerosa" discount and got her ticket in the entrance just like everyone else. It is hard to believe she doesn't know how discounted tickets look, that is literally her job! They just didn't want us there.

The staff in this museum is rude and racist!!! Careful coming here if you are a person of color or a minority. This place in the center of Madrid and they only want certain type of people visiting the museum. We ran into a couple more issues with the staff during the visit, and weird looks in every room but I do not want to make this review longer. Careful...

I visited this place tuesday, morning and the queue was quite long. It took quite a long time to wait for this place to open in the morning, because I came at the time the museum had just opened. Tickets can be bought online, but you can also buy them on the spot for 3 euros. When you first enter you will be amazed by the beautiful garden. chairs, fountains, beautiful flowers and statues, as well as ceramic ornaments on the stairs and seats.

the paintings displayed are very beautiful. Sorolla paints in an impressionism style, the object being painted is a human figure against a sea background, vibrant colors depicting the bright beach sun. Sorolla often paints the figures he loves, his wife and children. As well as the beach atmosphere that reminds him of his childhood. His paintings are large in size, painted in oil paint on canvas. I was amazed by the brushes, palettes and paints that are still stored nicely in this museum.

Very beautiful house, the art works that are displayed are so enchanting. lingering here is a pleasure, while looking at the paintings as if we were transported to the era where Sorolla still lived there.

This place is not so big, and unfortunitely it is not a wheelchair user friendly. Descriptions of works are written in Spanish and English. If you want to hear more clearly about the history of Sorolla's artwork, audio aids are also available which can be rented in the ticket booking area. In this place there are also sales of printing souvenirs by Sorolla in...

El edificio fue construido en 1911 bajo la dirección del arquitecto Enrique María Repullés, que materializó los deseos del pintor de crear un espacio que fusionase el área de trabajo y su vivienda y que además contase con un espacio de jardín. La vivienda conserva el ambiente original de muchos de los espacios, además de alojar una amplia colección de obras de Sorolla, así como también numerosos objetos que reunió como coleccionista durante su vida. Se trata además de una de las casas de artista mejor conservadas de Europa.

Gracias al éxito que el artista valenciano venía cosechando años atrás, el 17 de noviembre de 1905 adquiriría el primer terreno de la casa, que se corresponde con la zona de vivienda y el estudio, así como el jardín trasero. Cuatro años después, en 1909, compraría el terreno aledaño, aportándole espacio adicional para ampliar su estudio y construir el resto del jardín. Esta empresa recaería sobre el arquitecto Enrique María de Repullés y Vargas (1845-1922), que para acometer con esta contaría con la ayuda del propio Sorolla.

El edificio se constituye en torno a dos plantas, a lo que se añade el ya nombrado nivel de jardín. La planta principal o planta noble, dispone de dos accesos, el principal y otro lateral. En esta planta también se localizan los tres estudios del pintor y el salón-comedor, todo iluminado a través de grandes ventanales que llenan las estancias de abundante luz, tal y como el valenciano requería. A través de este nivel se accedía al semisótano, donde se situaban la cocina y otras dependencias entre las que estaba la vivienda de los guardeses. Por su parte, la primera planta se correspondía con la zona más íntima, donde se encontraban los dormitorios tanto de la familia como del personal de la casa. Finalmente el jardín, que se divide en tres espacios diferentes, fue obra del pintor en su diseño y disposición. Para la habilitación del edificio como museo, gran parte de su estructuramiento interno fue reformado, a excepción de parte de la planta baja. De este modo, las salas correspondientes en la actualidad a la I, II y III, en su momento conformaban los tres estudios del pintor. La sala I era utilizada como almacén, la II para la exposición de obras del artista y la sala III era el estudio propiamente dicho. Esta sala comunicaba con la zona familiar, que se corresponde con un salón que comunica con la entrada principal de la casa, hoy salida del museo; una sala que precede a la sala del almuerzo y una escalera que lleva al primer piso, donde actualmente se llevan a cabo las exposiciones temporales (salas de la IV a la VI). Desde esta, a través de otra escalera, se accede a la segunda planta, zona del servicio en un primer momento, luego habitación de Joaquín Sorolla García desde 1941, tras lo cual en 1982 se utilizaría como las oficinas del museo y actualmente, como lugar donde se desarrollan los talleres organizados por la institución.

Por su parte, los jardines se han conservado fieles a cómo estaban en la época en la que la familia habitaba la vivienda gracias a las restauraciones llevadas a cabo entre 1986 y 1991. Como ya se nombró anteriormente, el estilo andalusí estaría especialmente presente en este espacio. La Alhambra y el Alcázar de Sevilla fueron los monumentos que más inspirarían al pintor en su afán por diseñar el espacio exterior de su vivienda. Para esta empresa, Sorolla se hizo con diferentes elementos como fuentes, azulejos, columnas, estatuas, plantas y árboles, todo proveniente de Andalucía. De este modo, son apreciables algunas características propias de los patios y jardines de esta zona, como la predominante geometría; la presencia del agua o la gran abundancia de colores, que se consigue no solo a través de la vegetación, sino que también por la ornamentación de azulejos que recubren zonas...
