Una experiencia cultural imprescindible en Valencia. La colección de arte contemporáneo es de un nivel altísimo, pero lo que realmente marcó la diferencia fue elegir la visita guiada. ¡Fue un gran acierto! Gracias a la guía pudimos entender mucho mejor el simbolismo de las obras y la increíble historia de la restauración del Palacio de Valeriola. ​El equilibrio entre la arquitectura histórica y las piezas modernas es fascinante. Sin duda, vale la pena pagar por el servicio de guía para no perderse ningún detalle de esta joya. ¡Totalmente recomendable!

Una visita espectacular al Museo de Hortensia Herrero. El espacio es impresionante y la colección está muy bien cuidada, sobre todo el edificio donde esta ubicado, pero sin duda lo mejor fue la visita guiada con Inma, que hizo un trabajo maravilloso, explicaciones claras, cercanas y con muchísimo conocimiento. Gracias a ella disfrutamos mucho más de cada sala y de los detalles de las obras. Me encantó especialmente la obra de las burbujas del patio central de Saraceno, y la del artista valenciano Joan Genovés, con una obra que te deja pensando. Recomendadísimo si estás en Valencia, y aún más si puedes hacer la visita con guía.

Tremendo lugar tanto como si te gusta el arte contemporáneo, como si vas de paso a descubrir un nuevo lugar. Increíble la curaduría de obras, me impactó especialmente la obra irreversible de TeamLab. No duden un segundo en visitarlo. Accesibilidad 10 puntos, la visita completa toma alrededor de hora y media -mejor hacerlo con guía-.
