Museo Nacional de Escultura

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:22:09

Spain's premier showcase of polychrome wood sculpture is housed in the former Colegio de San Gregorio (1496), a flamboyant Isabelline Gothic style building where exhibition rooms line a splendid two-storey galleried courtyard. Works by Alonso de Berruguete, Juan de Juní and Gregorio Fernández are the star attractions. Downstairs is a small wing dedicated to Fernández. Don't miss his painfully lifelike sculpture of a dead Christ.
