Casa Museo de Jose Benlliure

This recently renovated museum can be found in a historical-artistic enclave between the Torres de Serranos and the IVAM Museum. This museum, however, was the family home of the Benlliures. Jose Peppino and Mariano Benlliure produced most of the existing works you'll find on exhibit here: paintings, ceramics, sculptures and drawings. Apart from these works, there is also a quality collection of pieces by Sorolla, Munoz, Degrain, Rusinol and other Valencian artists. The museum also has a wonderfully romantic garden: a cool oasis in hot Valencian summers (though it was once Peppino Benlliure's studio).
