Google Reviews
El edificio me gustó: una mezcla de arquitectura antigua integrada en la actual. Fui a ver la exposición sobre el desarrollo de la ciudad de Valencia la cual organizada por Provincias, me decepcionó un poco. Esperaba más documentación gráfica... Pero conocí el sitio y me pareció muy agradable. Con un gran patio central ajardinado. Aproveché para ver otras exposiciones. Fui en sábado, creo que tiene horario continuo y no cobraron entrada.
Antiguo convento de Carmelitas Calzadas, cerca de la Torre de Serranos. Las exposiciones las realizan en el interior del recinto , tras atravesar dos bellos claustros, uno gótico y otro renacentista, de limpias líneas. Si tienes tiempo y estas por los alrededores, es bonito para disfrutar del edificio
Centro cultural, con diferentes exposiciones temporales, en un edificio histórico muy interesante. Aunque hay exposiciones que pueden no resultar atractivas, algunas son sumamente interesantes. La exposición de la transformación de Valencia en los últimos 160 años, con motivo del aniversario de Las Provincias, es muy buena, mostrando todos los grandes hitos de la historia de la ciudad, desde el derribo de las murallas, hasta nuestros días, a través de obras de artistas, paneles explicativos, portadas de periódico. Gran exposición. Ojalá se realicen más muestras de este tipo.
