The Museum of Bellas Artes (Fine Arts) of Murcia is one of the most established institutions of our Region. Its origin is linked to the Comisión Provincial de Monumentos de Murcia (Provincial Commission of Monuments of Murcia) of 1844. Its preservation and conservation works of the patrimony of monuments, with the purpose of founding the Museo Provincial (Provincial Museum), will materialise in 1864. This year, the Museo Provincial de Pintura y Escultura (Painting and Sculpture) will be created and later on, the Section of Archaeology will be added.
The building, opened in 1910, is a work of the architect Pedro Cerdán, who uses an impeccable language to express the premises of the architectural eclecticism.

Las fiestas más populares de la ciudad de Murcia son las de Moros y Cristianos, de ahí que la comisión de fiestas se decidiera a crear un museo específico para poder acercar al visitante a la misma, declarada de Interés Turístico Nacional. Allí se exponen trajes de las distintas kábilas y mesnadas que desfilan anualmente en la Fiesta, así como carteles oficiales en sus más de 30 años de existencia.

Museum of the City is located in the old house of the nineteenth century of the Lopez-Ferrer family, and on the same site where the Tower of Junterón, residence of Don Gil Rodríguez de Junterón, was built in the 16th century. The building happened to be of municipal ownership in 1994 and shortly after was remodeled and conditioned to lodge a museum on the history of Murcia.
It offers a wide cultural offer of temporary exhibitions, activities, book presentations, etc.

Salzillo Museum.
It was opened in 1960 and deeply remodelled in 2002 by the architect Yago Bonet Correa. It is a mixture of typologies: we have the Baroque Art which is still alive under the watchful eye of the Church of Jesus, see of the Brotherhood of the same name and which was declared artistic historical monument from 1935; and also the Contemporary Art, created in 2002 by this architect. A mixture of styles which coexist in perfect harmony.
In the outside, in the lateral façade we find a magnificent portal which belongs to the ancient Renaissance Palace of Riquelme (previously located next to the Plaza de San Bartolomé and currently disappeared). It is meaningful that this family also ordered Salzillo the sculpture set of the nativity scene in 1776. This project kept him busy until his death in 1783.
In the church of Jesus the Nazarene, famous thrones of Francisco Salzillo are exposed and walk in file on Good Friday morning: "La Caída" (1752), "la Verónica" (1754), "San Juan" and "la Dolorosa", made between 1752 and 1777, "la Santa Cena del Señor" (1763), "la Oración en el Huerto" (1752), "el Prendimiento" (1765) and "Cristo amarrado a la columna" or "Los Azotes", which was made between 1776 and 1777 and the last throne of this maker of religious images.
The carving which names the Brotherhood, "Nuestro Padre Jesús" (Our Father Jesus), an anonymous carving of the 16th and 17th centuries and the one which gives its own name to a brotherhood, is the only one that wasn't made by Salzillo. 556 figures, which form the famous "Belén" (Nativity scene) also highlight. These figures were ordered to Salzillo by the marquis of Riquelme, and also an interesting collection of original clay sketches.
