What to expect
Your guide will lead you through the museum's interconnected galleries, stopping at landmark pieces and explaining technique, provenance, and cultural significance. The building itself—once home to the Mercedarian order—retains its convent layout, so you'll move between intimate rooms and larger halls. Expect to stand and walk at a comfortable pace; the guide adjusts for the group's interests, whether focusing on religious iconography, secular portraiture, or compositional methods. Ninety minutes allows time to absorb key works without rushing.
