Sorolla. Travelling to Paint: Another vision of Spain
The exhibition undertakes and exciting journey in the footsteps of the painter, a strenuous but essential task to know in depth both his long career and his personality, as the essence of his work is linked to the concept of travel. The driving force behind all his travels was always painting in the open air, a necessity that made him a traveling painter. The exhibition tells the story of Joaquín Sorolla's voyage through the different regions of our country and pays tribute to the master of light as the great chronicler and artistic ambassador of Spain between the centuries.

In Sorolla’s Sea with Manuel Vicent
In this unprecedented exhibition concept, the Sorolla Museum has invited the Valencian writer Manuel Vicent to curate a literary exhibition on the work of the brilliant painter. In it, the writer confronts Sorolla's painting to propose an unusual dialogue between painting and literature. Manuel Vicent builds a visual itinerary around the representation of the sea and maritime scenes in Sorolla's work. At the same time, the writer weaves a biographical, literary and aesthetic tale about Sorolla's painting, the Mediterranean Sea and its people.
Sorolla is dead! Long live Sorolla!
This exhibition traces the journey of Joaquín Sorolla through the last years of his life and brings to light the enormous repercussions of his death, both in the cultural world of his time and in the social sphere, as well as the tributes that the painter received over the years. The exhibition was jointly curated by the documentation department of the Sorolla Museum and is the result of intensive group research into the photographic and documentary collections of the Sorolla Museum Archive.
Sorolla: Origins
This exhibition explores, for the first time, the path that led the Valencian Joaquín Sorolla Bastida to become Spain’s most successful national and international painter around the turn of the 20th century, ascending as the immortal painter of light and the Mediterranean who continues to enchant the public today. 'Sorolla: Origins' launches the cultural programme to commemorate the centenary of the death of Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, which will be held throughout 2023 and 2024.
Sorolla in Black
The exhibition draws attention to the colour black, based on the apparent contradiction of associating Sorolla - a painter of light and colour - with black. 'Sorolla in Black’ is thus an exhibition that has the force of a paradox: it announces the opposite of what one expects to see from the painter. 'Sorolla in Black’ invites us to ask ourselves whether associating Sorolla with black is actually paradoxical or whether it instead represents another point of view from which to understand and appreciate the artist in all his complexity.
Sorolla and Benlliure: One friendship, two artists
With this exhibition, the Sorolla Museum and the Sorolla Museum Foundation join the Madrid City Council in commemorating the 75th anniversary of the death of Mariano Benlliure. Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923) and Mariano Benlliure (1862-1947) were not only two of the most brilliant artists of their time; they were also, above all, two good friends. These two Valencians who settled in Madrid lived to create unique art, which triumphed both in Spain and abroad
The Age of Bliss: Childhood in Sorolla's paintings
Depictions of childhood were a through-line in Sorolla’s artistic work over the course of his career, and it was with his paintings of children that he won his greatest prizes. However, the child figure in the work of the Valencian master is a subject that has been little studied, which is why this exhibition aims to explore it in greater depth.
