The Museum Sorolla (Spanish: Museo Sorolla) is a museum located in Madrid, Spain. It features work by the artist Joaquín Sorolla.
The building was originally the artist's house, and was converted into a museum after the death of his widow. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1962.[1] The principal rooms continue to be furnished as they were during the artist's life, including Sorolla's large, well-lit studio,where the walls are filled with his canvasses. Other rooms are used as galleries to display Sorolla's paintings, while the upstairs rooms are a gallery for special exhibitions. In 2014 these rooms held an exhibition of David Palacin photographs of the ballet Sorolla produced by the Spanish National Dance Company]]. [2]
