Toledo. Museo de Santa Cruz. Ayer os mostraba, la fachada del Museo de Santa Cruz realizada en mazapán por los confiteros de Santo Tomé, pues hoy la fachada natural. Esperando que os guste la foto. Como siempre os recomiendo pinchar en la foto para verla en todo su esplendor.

Ya os conté que el Museo de Santa Cruz debe su nombre al edificio que ocupa, el antiguo Hospital de Santa Cruz erigido por el Cardenal Mendoza a principios del Siglo XVI.

Como digo, el edificio fue fundado como hospital siguiendo la teoría arquitectónica de Filarete, que dividía el espacio en forma de cruz griega para aislar a los enfermos por dolencias en ambientes ventilados, soleados y luminosos.

Está considerado como una de las joyas de la arquitectura más temprana del renacimiento español, su autoría se debe a figuras como Antón y Enrique Egas, y a Alonso de Covarrubias entre otros.

La portada, plateresca, como veis en la foto, pertenece a Alonso de Covarrubias, así como la escalera monumental de acceso a la galería superior del Claustro.

El museo tiene importantes obras de arte y consta de dos plantas. El crucero abarca los dos pisos y está cubierto con bóvedas de crucería. En el brazo norte se situaba la capilla.

El museo cuenta con secciones de Arqueología, Bellas Artes y Artes Decorativas, y tiene por principal atractivo un valioso repertorio de El Greco y de la escuela toledana como Juan de Borgoña, Coomontes, Correa de Vivar y Luis Tristán.

También cuenta con una excelente representación de José de Ribera y de Luca Giordano.

Los fondos de Bellas Artes se distribuyen en la primera y segunda planta del edificio, y los de arqueología, en el Claustro Noble y en un piso subterráneo.

Las Artes Decorativas cuentan con una muestra de artesanía popular toledana, que se sitúa también en el piso del sótano y que es una de las mejores colecciones de cerámica española. La colección Carranza de cerámicas datadas desde el siglo XV al XVIII.

Se exhiben también algunas esculturas (como un retrato en busto de Juanelo Turriano, atribuido a Pompeo Leoni), mobiliario, tapices, diversos pendones (a destacar uno procedente de la batalla de Lepanto)

El Museo es uno de los principales atractivos turísticos de la ciudad, en buena medida por su valioso repertorio de cuadros de El Greco, muchos de ellos depositados por varias parroquias toledanas. Representan prácticamente toda la evolución del artista en Toledo, desde sus primeros años en la ciudad (La Verónica con la Santa Faz, h. 1580) hasta poco antes de fallecer en 1614 destacando La Inmaculada Concepción.

Solamente con el edificio ya sería digno de una visita, pero si además le añades los cuadros, tapices y esculturas, es una visita imprescindible en un viaje a...

La exposición está muy bien, los cuadros espectaculares y los "espacios greco" geniales. Ahora bien, la parte negativa (y la escribo aquí para prevenir a futuros visitantes), nos la encontramos en el piso de arriba donde está la "exposición permanente" (en la parte de abajo está la exposición de "El Greco"). En esta planta de arriba, se encuentra una especie de "responsable" por decir algo, cuya función principal es avasallar, acosar e intimidar a todo aquel que se le ponga por delante. En nuestro caso nuestro gran "pecado" fue elevar un poco el tono de voz cuando ya nos dirigíamos a la salida. Pues bien, este "señor", que nada más entrar te lo encuentras sentado a la derecha, con una de cara de hastío y aburrimiento fuera de lo normal, nos increpó y faltó al respeto con muy malas formas y escasa educación, llegando incluso a amenazarnos con "desalojarnos" del museo. Y todo esto por haber alzado un poco la voz al salir por la puerta. Un situación surrealista, sinceramente. Solo por este tema, ya nos "chafó" un poco la visita, porque si bien la exposición de el Greco nos encantó, el encanto desapareció por completo cuando nos topamos con este individuo tan maleducado, grosero y agresivo. Y por este tema y puesto que la valoración es sobre el Museo De Santa Cruz, y esta persona (por decir algo) trabaja para dicho museo y forma parte de su plantilla, mi valoración es negativa. Y espero y deseo que en el futuro, cuiden más este aspecto y se procuren de buenos y competentes profesionales. De esos que se dirigen a ti con una sonrisa y con amabilidad. No pido mucho, ¿a qué no?. Gracias.

Pd. experiencia acaecida el 07/05/2014, entre las 14-15...

I would like to state that the Santa Cruz museum was really unique and beautiful when I visited back in February. Although the main exhibition halls were closed due to renovations, the temporary exhibition halls did manage to make up for the fact. There were two on going exhibitions at the time of the renovations to the main hall, both of whom possessed a great interest through their contents. If anyone wishes to have a more extensive context and review they can go into the About me section in my profile for a more extensive review.

Somebody called this museum small but it is huge for a small town. It's currently free for some reason and includes an eclectic bunch of objects which seem to be of high quality. It also has better than average English translations in the permanent collection. The second floor seems to be under refurbishment or something like that. The cloister is open with a book exhibition on the ground floor and tiles from Valencia on the next floor.
