Valladolid is a city with an incredibly rich history - that's where kings were born (Philip II, Anne of Austria), writers created (Miguel de Cervantes), and seafarers died (Christopher Columbus). Therefore, it is no wonder that lots of interesting museums are based here. And they are definitely worth a visit. Thus, Museo Nacional de Escultura is rightly considered the best cultural institution keeping a unique collection of exhibits, and each one would be worthy of a separate museum. Belen Napolitano del Museo Nacional de Escultura is another unique museum where models with the scenes of the Nativity of Christ (this sort of compositions is called "Presepe") are on display.
There are also houses of famous people, which later became museums in the City of Kings. We are talking primarily about the house museum of the Spanish poet Jose Zarilla and Miguel de Cervantes Birthplace Museum. Here, like nowhere else, you will be shown and told in detail how the great creators lived. Just like in the Christopher Columbus House Museum. There is one more interesting city museum - Fundacion Alberto Jimenez-Arellano Alonso demonstrating African art. Connoisseurs of art visit museums like Museo Oriental, Colegio de San Gregorio, Museo Patio Herreriano de Arte Contemporaneo Espanol, and those who prefer science go to Museo de la Ciencia.
