This free museum is contained in 3 separate rooms scattered through out an old religious building. Do NOT think you've seen everything if you haven't been upstairs! That is where the best rooms are! A wonderful collection of artifacts from African displayed in well lit modern cases or dioramas. If you're tired of seeing Spanish art, but love art, head over to this great collection.…

The Fundacion Alberto Jimenez-Arellano Alonso is located in the beautiful Palacio Santa Cruz, which was constructed in the 15th century by the very powerful Cardinal Mendoza. Its cloister is beautiful. The museum has beautiful African art and is probably the best museum of its kind in Spain.…

Like other reviewers I thought this a really worthwhile museum to visit. Information in English is limited to brief object labels. The longer explanatory texts were in Spanish only. That meant that I did not understand what I was looking at.

It is rewarding for us to read how the museum inspired you in some way and get your senses. Sorry for the inconvenience about the explanatory texts.
