This time you will learn everything that you know or don’t know about Valencia
If you haven’t been to Valencia during Las Fallas in mid-March, then you have to visit Museo Fallero. Here, you can experience the bustling atmosphere of Las Fallas through videos and famous award-winning Faya puppets. Although Museo Fallero is not large, it has collected excellent works over the years, along with the tools and posters for making fire festival puppets. It is absolutely worth seeing. Walking into the museum, you seem to have entered a fairy tale world. The early Faya puppets even wear real clothes. They are very beautiful in shape, and great artistic value and are very entertaining. The experience is not much different to a trip to Disneyland.
Located in the Palace of the Marqués de Dos Aguas, the National Museum of Ceramics and Luxury Works of Art has a collection of various styles of ceramics from pre-history, Rome, Greece, and Arabia. The pottery manufacturing industry in Valencia is highly developed, and almost every village has developed its own unique technology and style, such as the pottery works signed by Picasso, and the traditional ceramic technology in Manises, Patterna and Alcora, which are also displayed here.
You can witness more than 2,000 years of the history of Valencia in the Valencia Museum of History. There are often activities with hands-on experiences, as well as movies, videos, and other programs that will make you feel like returning to the old city of Valencia in ancient times. The location of the Valencia Museum of History is exactly where the old city reservoir used to be. The museum exhibits pictures, cultural relics, sculptures, and texts of historical significance and artistic value. Here you can get a free guide manual in English.
The Valencian Modern Art Institute ranks among the most important museums in Spain as the country's first museum of modern art, and is in the same league as the Picasso Museum or the Fundacio Joan Miro. There is a collection of classic works of Spanish art from the 20th century in the museum, and some wonderful temporary exhibitions which are held regularly. The Julio González Center collects the works of Julio González, a three-dimensional artist who is good at making sculptures with iron products, and Ignacio Pinazo, a famous local impressionist painter from Valencia. Another hall is located underground, exhibiting part of the wall of medieval Valencia that was destroyed.
The Patriarch Museum collects paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries, as well as works from before the Renaissance by Juan, El Greco, and Flanders. The main altar in the cathedral and the wall hangings in the chapel contain The Last Supper of Baltar.
Located in Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia Marine Aquarium is the largest underwater biological exhibition hall in Europe. With its open space and changeable light, it is a real and illusory "water world". Experience a trip to the seabed of the Atlantic Ocean from theCanary Islands in the West and Bermuda Islands in the east at the Valencia Marine Aquarium. There is the fifth gray shark born in captivity in the world at the aquarium. The fish "flying" through the water is a rare scene. The annular glass water tank, two or three stories high, is just like a undersea tunnel. The feeling of being surrounded by all kinds of sea creatures is particularly thrilling. There are also exhibitions for fish and reptiles from tropical humid areas.
