"Visit Sorolla's House and Gardens The former house of Joaquín Sorolla is now a museum dedicated to his life. The walls of the house hold not only his own work but very personal mementos from his life, and even the art of his friends. These details make it feel as though Sorolla will stroll in from the back garden at any moment. An often overlooked museum, but one worth your time if you enjoy getting into the mentality of the artist. My favorite touch is the fountain in the garden, which is a miniature replica of one from the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain . Photo by Eduardo/Flickr ."

"The Museo Sorolla, built in the home of the revered Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla, who is far too obscure outside his native country, provides a retrospective of his work, and an intimate look into his home life."

"Spanish artist Joaquin Sorolla lived here until his death, and his Chamberi neighborhood home was converted into one of Madrid’s most charming small museums. Sorolla is known for his colorful Spanish landscapes, and you'll see inklings of those in the Andalusian-inspired gardens around his former home. Wander from room to admire the dozens of landscape paintings, where Sorolla’s talent for expressing light is on full display—a particularly interesting thing to note as you wander amid the light-filled central terrace. You can get through this museum at a leisurely pace in an hour. You can even squeeze in a visit between shopping excursions along Gran Via or in Salamanca and a tour of Templo de Debod." - Ramsey Qubein

Nice view, but not to much to see. The ticket cost 3 euro per person. Two girls that were in the staff saw that we were strangers and not Spanish and they looked suspicious at us. In 20 seconds, one came at us to tell us to don't touch the exhibited pieces and to out the bag in the luggage container. After this, she told us that is more to visit and that there we will have the tickets checked. For me, this seems discrimination. Horrible behavior! This is why I gave you 3 stars. For the exhibition only.

Fantastic small museum in the artist's Madrid home. Gardens, rooms and exhibits are well laid out and interesting. Laminated info sheets in several languages in each room were very helpful. Definitely worth the metro ride if you aren't staying locally. A lovely way to spend an hour or so. Quick moving queue outside on the street but more about managing flow in than capacity.

Fascinating museum: compact, not crowded, and truly gorgeous. Filled with Sorolla’s life in addition to his art. You’ll see pieces you recognize but you’ll also see Sorolla art you’ve never seen elsewhere (like his paintings/murals to decorate the top of his dining room). PRO TIP: Buy tickets in advance for the first slot of the day. Line up outside the gate a little before opening and be the first ones through the gate and into the building (pre purchased tickets enter on the upper right as you go through the gardens). This will let you be the first ones into his house/museum (all my pictures from here with no one in them were from this time).

Sorolla family house in the centre of Madrid, very well preserved. The kitchen is the most authentic room in the house, it is as it was during the days when the Sorolla family used it. The gardens are pretty, refreshing and calming. They have master classes which seemed really interesting! Hurry to visit, they are closing for reconstructions in September 2024.

Well, this museum is amazing. Is a small house, has a beautiful garden. The interior is amazing too. All the art inside is wonderful - for me a MUST. There is some stairs - keep in mind if you have any issues with it.

The most beautiful museum of Madrid. A maison of maître which has been preserved for one century with all Arturo Sorolla's artworks. Sorolla mixed impressionist technics and is part of the romantic vibe in Europe in the XIX century. I recommend completely this museum which is less known than others in Madrid.

It has a beautiful collection of objects gathered during Mr Soroya's life and his own paintings as well. The house still has its lovely gardens with small but refreshing fountains.

I really liked this museum. It was free the day we visited (normally admission is about 3 euros). There is a small quiet indoor courtyard with a fountain and flowers. Indoors, you can see many different paintings done by the artist, as well as some sculptures and even the artist's last painting supplies. There is a small gift shop with prints, magnets, etc. based on his paintings.

A hidden gem of a museum in Madrid. Beautiful gardens and loved getting to walk through the house kept with some of its original furniture. Learning about the artist and artwork was enriching. Not very crowded either and at a great price (€3 for 1 adult)

Beautiful, small, approachable museum near Castellana Avenue in Madrid. This was also the home of Valencian painter Joaquin Sorolla (1863-1923). Lovingly and accurately restored, it houses many of own his paintings, but also the home furnishings, paintings of his children, and his studio with brushes and canvases in the open, giving you the feeling that he had just left for a moment. There is also a Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664) painting and a lithography of a Velasquez portrait of Pope Innocent X (Sorolla, was a fan of the paintings of Velasquez and bought the lithography in one of his travels in Rome). Sorolla was a prolific painter and loved to travel the southeast beaches of Spain. Many of his paintings showcase people and children bathing in sandy, ocean settings. He was a master of light, reflection and luminosity.

Amazing home and museum. Beautiful art work and presented in a beautiful authentic setting. Easy walk from downtown Madrid.

And the house and gardens are incredible beautiful--a hidden gem. Be sure to get advance tickets online--there is restricted entry to prevent mobbing of the small home and galleries.

Although a small museum, I spent two hours here. So mesmerized by sorolla's work- impressionist/realist work. The museum is his home in Spain, it was cool to get a tour of all the different rooms. The gardens are beautiful, lots of fountains and detailed sculptures. They have some tables outside, lots of people were reading, drawing, even working on the little tables. A picturesque spot too if you're into that.

Our travel agent didn't even know about this one, but the swarms of early-morning tourists did!!

I love when artist houses are turned into museums. They have a more intimate feeling as does this place. It's really lovely to see the gardens depicted in the paintings and the gardens in real life. My only real criticism is the objects in the cases are not labeled so I had no idea what they were but I was very interested in them.

Highly recommended by a friend, I really wanted to get to this Museum during my rather short stay in Madrid. I finally had the chance to go on a Wednesday morning around 10am. An easy walk from the metro, I found the museum tucked away behind a stone wall that beckoned me inside. When you first step foot into the garden it is simply magnificent. Early March isn't the best time for gardens, but even under grey skies and a chill in the air, I could have sat and enjoyed the fountains and greenery. Entry is only 3€ and I was happy to pay this. The three salas are adorned with the great works of Sorolla. If you're not familiar, you should be. His "horse after a bath" is exquisite.na couple of classes with small children were seated the ought the museum attentively listening to their teacher and talking about art. It was fantastic. So much of the house has been maintained as it was in Sorolla's time. It is beautiful and really the work of a talented artist. My only disappointment was that the piece "madre" was not on display. It was on loan or display somewhere else (or so I gathered from the man I asked -my Spanish is a little rusty...) If you make it to Madrid, check out this splendid little jewel of a place. I'm so glad I did!

A museum dedicated to the impressionist Joaquin Sorolla. Beautiful paintings of the originals. This is of his house where he painted. Stood in the queue for about an hour before entering. Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (Spanish: [xoakin sooa]) (27 February 1863 - 10 August 1923) was a Spanish painter. Sorolla excelled in the painting of portraits, landscapes, and monumental works of social and historical themes. His most typical works are characterized by a dexterous representation of the people and landscape under the bright sunlight of his native land and sunlit water.

I'm not an art buff, and I'd never even heard of Sorolla before, but a friend highly recommended this museum to me, and I'm so glad I went. As a museum, it was really, really well done. Each room had cards in multiple languages explaining the room's purpose and the significance of various items. It made me care about something I wouldn't have otherwise cared about. Part of the house is preserved the way it was used, and other parts are more of a gallery. I thought it was a good balance. The descriptions were used to tell a story about Sorolla's life, not just show things off, and I like that. Also, it's refreshing to know that not every artist is a depressed and tortured soul. I liked how he seemed like a well-adjusted guy who loved his family and his job and wanted to get better at painting. And I loved that he cultivated his daughter's talents, and that her work was also displayed prominently throughout the house. I left feeling better about the world and like I'd learned a lot about the artist and about art in general. Highly recommended.

A beautiful small museum with an intimate look into Sorolla's family life - both through seeing the dining room just as it was when he lived there and the ceramics he enjoyed collecting scattered about, and also through the museum's collection which contains a lot of family portraits movingly tracing the aging of his wife and children. The paintings are luminous and the light and space of the house shows them off well. Upstairs I think has rotating exhibitions, the one I saw featured his landscapes with interesting and easy-to-understand explanations. There is a small and lovely garden in which visitors can sit and relax and joyously it also has a coke machine so I was able to feed my caffeine addiction while overlooking a little fountain!

My favorite museum in all of Madrid!! It's not too big but also not too small, so you only need an hour or so to get through it. The paintings are absolutely beautiful. If you love landscapes, definitely come here! The ticket to get in is cheap (€3), and there's a lovely garden outside where I spent an hour sitting on a bench journaling. I highly recommend coming here! The gift shop also has really cool notebooks and postcards that are relatively cheap, so that's worth looking at too.

My husband and I went to Madrid and had the opportunity to visit the Sorolla Museum. We went on a Sunday which happened to be a free entrance (we didn't know Sundays are free. This was a nice surprise). We loved this museum! The collection was not too large but we found it very enjoyable and intimate, specially after visiting the mammoth Del Prado Museum. After going through the galleries we walked around the beautiful grounds and took as many pictures as possible. This was a very memorable experience.

At a cost of only 3 euros, this was the biggest art bang for the buck during our visit to Madrid. Wouldn't have missed the Prado or the Reina de Sofia but this tranquil little setting was just beautiful and such a personal way to view the artist's work. This was Sorolla's home and it was as nice a treat as the art. Beautiful circa 1920's Tiffany ceiling lamps caught my eye. Just gorgeous. His paintings are hung on every available space. Quite a visual impact along with the house and gardens. Don't miss this Madrid treasure. Try the Madrid Al Alba for lunch afterward. Located right across the street and the food is delicious.

I went here after listienng to a travelogue on Radio Nationale by Stephen Drake-Jones from the Wellington Society of Madrid. It was an amazing place, The house of the painter and a gift to the people of Madrid. Several room as filled with his painting and his studio has been left much in tact so that you can get an idea of how he worked. You also get to see the family's living area and the beautiful gardens. Sorolla was such a talented impressionist and this collection contains many pictures that he did for himself of the family. And as another review says; the price is right. We also rented the audio guide. Well worth the extra 2 euros.

I had never heard of Sorolla's work prior to coming to Madrid. Now I can say that I love it! If you've never seen his work before, I would liken it to Renoir. Admission is cash only, 3 Euros for adults, free for children. The audio guide is 2 Euros each, regardless of age. The gardens are lovely, so if it's a nice day bring a snack to sit and enjoy.

To imagine the artist working in his home environment is a moving experience. Impressionism is not exclusively French! Sorolla should be acknowledged as a master.
