This museum was interesting in a number of ways: as an historic house, as a family home and as an art gallery. We really enjoyed it. Don't miss the artist's studio at the bottom of the garden. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely worth a visit. A combination mansion/gallery for multiple generations of a family of artists, the museum gives a wonderful glimpse into life for wealthy residents of 19th/20th century Valencia. The strongest elements are the garden and artist’s studio within it - a little like the Leighton House studio in London, the art in the main house and the decoration of the ground-floor rooms.

We would like to move in tomorrow. Lovely house garden and studio. Collection includes works by at least 4 or 5 members of the family. (couldn't always keep track of who was who.)

I admit I had not heard of the Benlliures nor considered visiting the House/Museum until we received a strong recommendation from an Englishman now living in Valencia for which we thank him. After the oppressive opulence of the Porcelain Museum this home/museum is like a breath of fresh air. We were especially taken by the collection of watercolours (not all from the Benlliure family) and the life studies of insects made Benlliure;s son in the last year of his life which are in display in the artists studio. Well worth a visit to refresh yourself from the standard sights.…
