Toledo Time Capsule

We decided out of the list of possibilities in Toledo to take in this home to "El Greco" as he is a painter of the early 1600s who was unconventional for his time (Picasso was inspired by him), with quite a collection at the Prado and it was interesting to see the inside of a home from that period. Entry was free for seniors and it ended up being more extensive and informative than we had anticipated.

This museum has an extensive collection of paintings by this Mannerist artist of the Spanish Golden Age. The museum first opened in 1911 and is located in the Jewish Quarter of Toledo. It consists of two buildings, a 16th-century house with a courtyard and an early 20th century building forming the museum, together with a garden. The house recreates the home of El Greco, which no longer exists. The museum houses many artworks by El Greco, especially from his late period. There are also paintings by other 17th-century Spanish artists, as well as furniture from the period and potteryRead more
