Reviews
When I visited much of this museum was closed off (I think in transition between exhibitions), however the three elements I was able to see left me happy to have been. These were a lovely cloister and stairway, a (I think) permanent collection of ceramics, and a temporary exhibition of beautiful paintings by a chap called Juan Berenguel. I also managed to visit on one of the free days. Lovely.
We came to see the museum and El Greco's pictures in
particular. To our surprise and disappointment we did not find anything, but a nice exhibition of a modern Spanish artist. He is really good, but we wanted to see absolutely different art. The staff couldn't help when asked where the masterpieces were. One can miss it.

I didn’t pay much attention to the exhibition but I was impressed by the infrastructure, incredible building.
There are so many places to go in Toledo that you might miss it. However, if you go, you won't regret it. Best of all, there are relatively few people here. Tickets are free until December 31, 2024.
Lugar ideal para celebraciones con derecho a barbacoa (salvo en verano) 1,20 euros por persona
A "must see" when visiting Valladolid
A very good visual introduction to the Knights Templar and a perfect location: Toledo is steeped in history and heritage. Well worth a visit and lots of shops for some good retail therapy.
Such a quaint and beautiful setting as well as home. It is always heartening to be in space, one so talented lived and worked.
We went to Valencia Templarios expo with my partner. You pay 9,50€ each and there are only panels with lots of texts and a dozens of dolls dressed up as templars. Everything is aging poorly and the information needs a bit of refreshing.
Podría estar mucho mejor el sitio, sobre todo cuando cobran por persona por usarlo. Las papeleras sin bolsa de plásticos, las llevamos nosotros, la tiramos nosotros, etc.
Lo peor es que mucha hierba mala, y ortigas en un lugar lleno de niños pequeños. Jardinería sin cuidar y con mal aspecto. Luego que es eso de una mesa por reserva??!! Es decir, somos 25 personas y me dice que solo tenemos opción a una mesa. Obviamente, tomamos dos sin problema y sin quitarle el sitio a nadie.
Lo mejor: el estado de los baños, que estaban limpios, con agua, jabón, papel higiénico y espejo (que siempre se agradece).
Podrían tenerlo respecto a las plantas y vegetación mucho más bonito. No está mal el sitio insisto, pero tiene áreas de mejora.

Interesting museum text mostly in Spanish but a lot to examine in the different departments. There is also an aquarium on the ground floor which is well worth a visit. Note the museum had super visiting times than the acquarium.
Well worth a visit. Three floors of exhibitions: contemporary art, 19th century local art and humorous dioramas of Malaga history. And it's free!

Great free exhibition on at the moment, worth a visit!
Great museum with temporary exhibitions of modern art as well as a beautiful permanent collection of XIX century art. It also has an interesting collection of historic scenes related to Málaga made of play dough. Free entry.
Museo pequeño y accesible, gratuito, reciben bien al visitante, en el corazón del "Rastro" madrileño, ubicado en una antigua y esplendida "Corrala", de dudosa rehabilitación, con una colección un tanto dispersa que aglutina diferentes oficios y vestuario de diferentes regiones, le falta algo mas de lo netamente madrileño si caer en el casticismo, pero es muy agradable y entretenido de ver y recorrer, con exposiciones temporales como la actual de artesania textil rumana, muy interesante y bien presentada. Pasé un buen rato y suele estar tranquilo.
Hay que realizar la reserva en el ayuntamiento de Teror. Solicitas la reserva con el número de personas que van a asistir, te explican cómo es el proceso de pago + envío de la copia del dni. Esperas la confirmación de admisión y luego procedes al pago mediante autopago. El precio por persona es de 1'20.
El sitio está cuidado, hay baños, zona de parking (limitado), bastantes barbacoas y mesas-bancos con techo. También dispone de un parque infantil y zona amplia-segura para que puedan disfrutar de un día en familia o con amigos.
Por cada grupo/reserva sólo se puede ocupar una mesa y una barbacoa.

Es un sitio agradable para hacer un asadero. Cuenta de aseos, mesas para comer y de barbacoas. Están repartidas por toda la zona. Recomiendo reservar antes para evitar llegar y no tener hueco.
Excellent museum in central Toledo. Fascinating collection of art and artifacts from Toledo's history. Well laid out and explained in Spanish and English. Lovely central courtyard in historic building. Free to enter as well!
Very rude receptionist who wouldn't let us enter on prepaid tickets until she finished am extended phonecall about very exciting gossip. After several minutes she paused the call to insult us for our lack of patience. After we tried to enter without her permission as she was still gossiping on the phone, she paused long enough to shout that she was calling the police so we left. We were unable to get a refund on the tickets from the original office.
Obviously, not recommended.

Una sorpresa muy agradable! Ha sido muy entretenido!
Totally underwhelming. We did not enjoy.
Free museum. It’s essentially all Catholic paintings and figures in the main hall. I preferred seeing the garden, which had four or five pillar remnants with Quranic verses, and the exhibits upstairs, which included a ceramics section. Please note that if you have a bag, you need to carry it in the front of your body. Alternatively, you can pay 1 euro to rent a locker.
Fantastic place! Wery interesting!!
Nice museum and not busy even if it's free. You will paintings, modern art design, anime, etc.
Nice free museum to enjoy some nice paintings and plastics-funny scenes, almost dioramas about Malaga's history
Wonderful exhibition of woman artists on the upper floors and a photography project on the ground floor. Free entry.
Magnífica colección de arte de la Universidad Complutense. Durero, Juan de Borgoña, Luis de Madrazo, Joaquín Sorolla, Ignacio Zuloaga.
Unas auténticas joyas.
Visitarla hasta el 10 de diciembre

Me gustó mucho porque era la primera vez que iba. Ví que los coches podían entrar para recoger las cosas y las personas. Muy bonito el espacio al aire libre, podrían poner algunas mesas más ya que el espacio es bastante grande. También podrían barajar lo de llevar animales ya que el espacio es tan amplio.
So, the museum is actually closed but the exhibition on the ground floor is open (and free).
It’s an exhibition about transgender people, trans art and trans artists. I didn’t expect it and I’m so grateful we stumbled open it because it was so heartwarming and marvellous. Thank you for this space!

Visiting the Santa Cruz Museum in Toledo, Spain, was an enlightening journey through the rich tapestry of history and culture. From the meticulously preserved artifacts to the splendid architecture of the museum itself, every moment spent here whisked me away to Spain's illustrious past. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, providing insightful glimpses into various epochs, making it an educational and captivating visit.
The staff deserves special mention for their friendliness and expertise, eagerly sharing their knowledge, further enriching my experience. The ambiance is serene, allowing for a peaceful exploration through the well-laid-out galleries.

This place was amazing. We were greeted at the front desk by the sweetest member of staff. She was excellent. So kind and friendly to my children and provided us with all the information we would need, her name was Lola! Excellent. Even the staff upstairs minding the gallery were nice and helpful, definitely made a big difference to our visit. I love the plasticine models which display historic information of the City! Such a good idea! The paintings were so nice and I couldn’t believe it was all free. Don’t pass the chance to see this place if you like art!
Very entertaining and curious museum with the history of the Templars. Wonderful to see and let you know how it happened, how it evolved and everything they did.
Popped in here just to kill time and enjoyed it. Quite small, can be done in about 15-20 mins.
Couldn't visit the museum. They were temporarily closed but didn't update their Google maps.
you don't need tickets,and fewer people, not very big,but you can see many things, I spent longer time because I needed Google translate.
Wonderful place! Well worth a visit. Big selection of cars from all eras. Something for everyone.
Luckily, at Sundays it is free entrance, but it is not worth paying.
A small house, and all the titles are in Spanish and no other languages. It is very boring.

Wonderful centre of biosphere nature conservation in Urdaibai. It is offering an excellent way of presenting the matter for a easy understanding.
Highly recommended!!
Highly recommended!!
Pequeño museo gratuito en el que se exponen las principales obras de arte propiedad de la Universidad Complutense, con pinturas que van desde Sotomayor a Sorolla, pasando por Madrazo y Manuel Benedito. La visita dura unos 30/45 minutos. No se puede pedir más para un museo que no cobra entrada.
Muy buen sitio para ir con la familia, mucho espacio, no se puede masificar, buenas vistas desde la parte de arriba, aunque creo que cierra un poco pronto para mi gusto.
Siempre que he entrado a preguntar me atiende una mujer muy educada y amable que da excelentes recomendaciones. Muchos libros interesantes allí dentro . Además tienen servicio de impresión y copiado.
Beautiful green space and museum, was there for a workshop but still was able to see the exhibits and walk the grounds. Very nice mix of an old fort and modern museum, the exhibits focus on local biodiversity and the forests and nearby ocean. A lookout with telescopes at the top offers amazing views of the surrounding countryside.
Great collection & exhibit! What a welcoming place for tourists, the community and world. Experiencing the building's architecture is worth a visit alone. The admission was free! How fortunate we are to have not only these works to enjoy, but that they're incorporated into the preservation of historic architecture. It's so accessible and easily located.
Not worth the money. 6 euros to watch 4 catapults in 2 small rooms. No guide, just panels in spanish to read. Things NOT to do in Toledo.
También llamado museo del Escritor Posiblemente el único museo permanente del libro en España más allá de las bibliotecas y de las exposiciones temporales. Una manera de viajar al siglo XX desde el modernismo hasta la literatura contemporánea pasando por el ultraismo, generacion del 27, surrealismo ... por lo que respecta a poesía. Es la memoria de grandes escritores Hispanoamericanos Un proyecto cultural que los madrileños debemos agradecer con su visita. Es además una gran libreria Ignacio Izquierdo del Valle.
Cool museum with free entry. Three floors and access to a small contemporary museum on site too. Loads of local art.
Muy bien, para pasar un buen rato en familia, pero falta las manos de los jardineros .
Pasa desapercibido, pero no os perdáis visitar ‘el museo del escritor’ que se esconde en esta librería.
Pero lo mejor de todo es la oportunidad de hablar on el propietario! Un placer escucharlo !

Es una moderna y afamada librería del barrio de Chamberí, ubicada en la calle Galileo de Madrid, regentada por dos personas muy amables y profesionales, que desde hace bastantes años se han dedicado y especializado en la literatura Argentina, donde ofrecen un arsenal de libros que se han editado, a lo largo de los años, de grandes autores de la literatura de este país.
Para mayor satisfacción
de la numerosa clientela originariamente argentina y residentes en Madrid, cuenta también con una sala para reuniones y una exposición-museo de recuerdos y objetos personales de los más prestigiosas figuras literarias, tanto actuales, como de épocas precedentes, que
pertenecen al acervo cultural argentino.

Enjoyed my visit there. Very few other people so it was easy to just slowly enjoy the Museum
Very interesting museum with even Picasso artwork which I didn't know. At the moment, december 2022, there is an exhibition about female art. Liked zhe outstanding architecture and the friendliness of the staff.
Nice place, but not much space if you have more than 20 people. Also bbq place is really bad.
Interesantes exposiciones como la que hay actualmente sobre el Dr.Auzoux y sus modelos anatómicos. Amplias salas bien explicadas. Muy fácil de llegar y luego se pueden subir las escaleras para visitar el Museo del Traje. Es gratis. Recomendable para pasar una mañana agradable en Ciudad Universitaria -Moncloa
Great place for any special event. They have large Rolls Royce collection that is impressive.
Gran sala de exposiciones dependiente de los museos Complutenses y el Área de Cultura de la Universidad.
Ha albergado grandes exposiciones como "Arte y Carne", la del Dr. Auzoux y sus modelos clásticos o en la actualidad la del diseñador cubano Félix Beltrán.
Es gratuita y se encuentra a la derecha de las escaleras de acceso al Museo del Traje (en el mismo edificio).

This humble house of the 17th century provides an evocative example of the typical house during the times of Cervantes.Here, in this lovely location, the author of Don Quixote lived some of the most turbulent final years of his life. Many of the objects on display belonged to the author himself. An obligatory visit for any of this most universal Spanish writer’s many admirers.
Nothing is in English. The rest of the museums all have English translations. Not much to see here anyways, though the location is cool.
Amazing collection of old cars
Wonderful experience
Museo que hay que visitar para contemplar la historia del vestido en nuestro país. Imprescindible de ver su nueva muestra de sus ricos e interesantes fondos. También ahora y por un tiempo limitado interesante exposición en los bajos del museo: La Divina Comedia de Dante, Inspiración y Razón. Maravillosa muestra de obras de Dali, etc, etc.
A nice and informative centre with spectacular views from the top of the tower. The labyrinth however, needs some attention. For a center about protecting the environment, there was a surprising amount of litter in the maze and the hedges need pruning as brambles made some paths impassable.
Great place! Really recommend to visit the center with children!
Beautiful views over the estuary country side viewing with telephone from upper floor restaurant and cafe outside seating great walks children's play area
Gives a lot of information about Cervantes, very well preserved, nice experience, the furniture and tools brings you to the 16 century, worth pay a visit only 3 euros.
If you’re looking for an art exhibition, I wouldn’t bother with this art centre. The exhibition is tiny and not worth the detour. It’s probably a good place to buy art books in Spanish though.
Nice bookstore
Amazing experience! The collection of Rolls Royce is breathtaking and the atmosphere there is just amazing. Everyone wants to experience being there. It’s a unique place. Unique people. Being there is like being in a movie, you cannot believe it’s real but it is. One of the best experiences of my life.
Cool too bad mostly no photos allowed but they have books in the gift shop full of photos
Great place for inspiration 👍 there are an exhibition of illustrations on -1 floor and Madrid's railway history exhibition on 2 floor. Very interesting.
Kleines aber feines Aquarium in der Universität von Murcia. Für 1 Euro Eintritt auf jeden Fall mitnehmen!
Magnificently rebuild 13th century Tower, home to the largest Rolls-Royce collection in Spain
Be careful.. It closes for a few hours in the afternoon, so you really need to visit in the morning
Beautiful objects
Very good collection of cars, much more than I expected. It’s a museum so you cannot touch or enter the cars sadly. Huge collection of vintage Rolls Royce. Amenities include a simple bar at the premises.
Kleines, nettes Aquarium. Für Kinder auf jeden Fall sehr gut geeignet, um mal einen ersten Blick in die maritime Welt zu erhaschen. Und für 1€ Eintritt kann man nichts falsch machen.
Für Besuche mit Kindern sehr zu empfehlen.

Small, but quite ineteresting museum.
Amazing car museum! I had a good time in there
Great price of euro 1. But very small, so not really worth a visit. There's a few small sharks and some colourful fish.
It's pay what you think (3euros recommended which is well worth it) and features some amazing artists of various late 20th century fashion paintings/ designs and at the minute there is a what I would describe as geometric art on the first floor.
This is a museum to read more than to see stuff and get entertained. One hour will be more than enough to read and see everything they have. The few thing they have to show are cool, but the whole place it is not as amazing as I thought it would be. However, I am happy that now I know more about the templar order, from a place where they used to be once upon the time.
Amazing collection of books in the bookstore. The exhibition part is less impressive, but worth of visiting. Great space for organizing events
Das Aquarium ist rin Highlight in Murcia. Schön wären noch Namen und Erklärungen zu den vorhandenen Arten. Ttotzdem waren wir begeistert!
Really great exhibitions on biodiversity, around half of which are available in English. For the ones that aren't in English, the pictures are terrific, and the views from the top of the tower are amazing. They even provide telescopes for bird watching. Loved it! Nice bar area too.
Very quaint place where Cervantes lived. The place is small and large groups are split into small groups.
Very nice carriage collection, gentle stuff and nice modern building.
With Lisboa card entrance is free.

Real story well presented.
Cervantes and his family moved to Valladolid in 1604 and they settled for one year on the first floor of this modest house. On the ground floor there was a tavern now it is a library.
Great staff, well prepared and very friendly.
Admission is free for everyone on Saturdays from 2.00 p.m onwards and all day Sunday.

So like I didn't visit the museum itself, but they give talks here every once in a while and they're pretty solid.
Beatiful place and the surrounding scenary will offer you grand sigths and walking routes.
Calm place that's nice to take a break in. Two floors with small exhibits but pretty cool bookstore with lots of design/illustration books. All in Spanish though but still cool to browse through. Free admission!
Random hours, not sign posted. 1 hour drive to find out the hours online are wrong!!!!
Not so much a museum as it is a book store. Which by itself is amazing. It is the largest selection of design books I've seen in one place. Very interesting stuff from all over the world with beautiful design. The building is also fantastic. The metal panel facade is striking and the underlit floor modules are really cool looking at night. They gate off the courtyard when it gets dark though. The museum is not exceptionally inspiring, but you should still go up to the second level to walk through the connector.
Free Museum featuring Illustration work as well as some digital work. As of May 17, the top floor was Alfredo González Sánchez, with the bottom two floors being for Ana Juan.
Reader be warned, everything is in Spanish.
