5.0Fundacion Pedro Cano(12 reviews) - We met Pedro Cano Spent 1-2 hours Art Museums
We'd seen this place mentioned on a TV programme and we went along one Sunday morning. It was 3€ to get in and the gallery has three floors dedicated to the local artist and the top floor hosts travelling exhibitions. The building was modern, bright and light with a splendid little shop with very reasonably priced momentos. I liked the artist's work. Figurative but abstract at the same time but the best thing was that, at midday, the artist himself showed up and took us around for a half hour visit. His explanations of the process and the background really brought the pictures and projects to life and he seemed like a very pleasant and likeable man.See more..
4.5Palacete del Huerto Ruano(7 reviews) - The perfect last day in Lorca Thursday: 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Architectural Buildings • Art Museums
We went to see the building and the current art exhibition. A couple of the rooms are richly decorated in the Hispanic-Islamic style of the (19th and the sweeping staircase has a sweeping banister with glass spindles. We were the only people there and so could enjoy at our own pace the exhibition of paintings by Muñoz Barberán, (1921-2007), one of Lorca's most acclaimed painters. The woman looking after the visitors was immensely helpful and even gave us a beautiful exhibition catalogue. When three more people arrived, she called us over to meet them, Lorca's most well known living artist, Vicente Ruiz and his family. What followed was a delightful conversation in Spanglish, and we were presented with a book of his latest works which he autographed while the woman working there took photos of us. It was such an unexpected event, a real treat, and all thanks to the enthusiasm and kindness of this staff member. I wish I had asked her name, but thank you!See more..

5.0Casa Del Artesano(2 reviews) - Visita Imprescindible, sin duda el mejor museo en Lorca Thursday: 10:00 AM - 1:30 PM Art Museums • Children's Museums • History Museums
Magnifica exposición de artesanía típica de la ciudad que recorre toda la historia de Lorca. Se encuentra ubicada en un magnífico edificio, antiguo Pósito de Panaderos en el que se puede ver uno de los tramos de la muralla antigua de la ciudad, mejor conservados. Tuvimos la suerte de que ese día había demostraciones en vivo de un telar del siglo XXI y de tejeduría de esparto.

4.0Museo De Archena(1 review) - lokale geschiedenis plus wisselende tentoonstellingen Thursday: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM Speciality Museums • Art Museums «Museo De Archena» richt zich met zijn collectie op de lokale geschiedenis inclusief enkele archeologische vondsten en andere objecten. De tentoonstelling belicht in vogelvlucht de lokale omstandigheden van de natuur, de prehistorie, de Romeinen, de Moren en de jongere geschiedenis van de streek. De vaste collectie bestaat vooral uit grote panelen met teksten, foto's, krantenknipsels etc. De teksten zijn uitsluitend Spaanstalig wat de doelgroep helaas onnodig beperkt. Engelse vertalingen op de panelen zouden wenselijk zijn. Het museum heeft ook ruimte voor wisselende tentoonstellingen. Bij de entree van het museum is ook een balie van de toeristeninformatie. Wij werden hier uitstekend in het Engels geholpen. De vriendelijke jonge man, José David Brando, gaf ons veel goede tips voor ons bezoek aan de Ricote vallei. Op YouTube vind je een 18 min durende film met dezelfde sympathieke, jonge José David Brando, tevens een kunstenaar, die een rondleiding geeft door het Museo De Archena. Het museum is niet zo heel moeilijk te vinden. Het bevindt zich aan de oostkant van Archena langs de oever van de rivier Segura. Achter het museum kun je langs de rivier in noordelijke richting naar het thermaalbad «Balneario de Archena» wandelen. Dat is een aangename wandeling van ongeveer 45 minuten heen en terug. Wilt u ook de spa bezoeken, duurt het natuurlijk wat langer.See more..
