Evaristo Valle Museum
Source

The Evaristo Valle Museum Foundation, located in Gijón, is a museum dedicated to the life and work of the local painter Evaristo Valle. The museum was founded in 1981 and officially opened its doors to the public on March 5, 1983. It serves as a tribute to the artist's legacy and offers visitors a chance to explore his artistic journey.

Location and Architecture of the Museum

The Evaristo Valle Museum is situated in Somió, a municipality of Gijón. The museum complex comprises two buildings: one constructed in 1971 specifically as a museum, and a 19th-century palace that was remodeled in 1942 and later adapted for exhibitions. This unique combination of modern and historical architecture adds to the museum's charm and appeal.

Artworks at the Evaristo Valle Museum

The Evaristo Valle Museum is home to over two hundred works by the painter, all created between 1903 and 1951, the year of his death. Among these works, some of his most famous pieces such as 'The Orgy' (1903) and 'Pierrot' (1912) are on display. These artworks provide a comprehensive overview of Valle's artistic evolution and style.
