Museo LÁZARO GALDIANO
Private Guided Tour in English
Step into history and discover a true gem: a Neo-Renaissance palace built in 1903 as the residence of Lázaro Galdiano and his wife, Paula Florido.
Today, the palace houses the remarkable art collection of José Lázaro Galdiano, a passionate collector and philanthropist, who assembled one of the largest and most significant private art collections in Spain.
The collection contains over 12'600 pieces, ranging from the Middle Ages to Romanticism. Visitors can admire an extraordinary variety of works, including paintings, furniture, jewellery, and decorative arts.
José Lázaro Galdiano (Navarra, 1862 - 1947) was a Spanish financier, journalist, publisher and art collector. By the time of his death, he owned one of the most important art collections in the country and was described in 1940 as one of Spain's greatest patrons of culture.
Our visit will begin with the history of the palace and the lives of José Lázaro Galdiano and his wife, Paula Florido - the creators of this extraordinary art collection.
After José’s death, the palace and its contents were donated to the Spanish state, giving rise to the foundation and museum we visit today.
Our private guided tour will last approximately 1.5 hours, with English translation provided by our INC volunteer member.
