María Maestre
Museum of famed Murcian sculptor
Salzillo was a great Murcian sculptor of the late eighteenth century, and the Museo Salzillo has helped to preserve his legacy and recreate his studio since 1960. Salzillo's fame went beyond Spain: with the success of his Sacred Exhibition in 1877, he became an international sensation. From 1999 to 2002, the museum was extensively remodeled and expanded.
