It‘s a nice, small museum in the city center mainly focused on religious ornaments, altars and figures showcasing the work of past sculpturers. Explanations can be found in Spanish as well as English which is quite nice. Fee’s are very cheap and would recommend to visit during the hottest parts of a day to enjoy the air conditioning while exploring the museum.

Beautiful national museum, a really wide variety of exhibits and some little hidden gems like Picasso's earlier phase drawings. For how cheap it is to enter and also how beautiful the building in general is (it was built as a theological school), you really shouldn't miss it.

The "National Museum of Sculpture" is a museum in Valladolid, Spain, belonging to the Spanish Ministry of Culture. The museum has an extensive sculptural collection ranging from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. The collections come mostly from churches and monasteries in the Region of Castile, whose pieces of religious art were confiscated by the State in 1836, by order of Minister of Finance Mendizábal. Other parts of the collections come from particular donations, deposits or acquisitions by the State. The museum was founded as the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts on 4 October 1842. It had its first headquarters at the Palacio de Santa Cruz. On 29 April 1933 it was moved to the Colegio de San Gregorio. Other current seats are in the 16th-century Palacio de Villena and Palacio del Conde de Gondomar The museum houses works from the 13th to 19th centuries, executed mostly in the Central Spain, and also in other regions historically connected to Spain (Italy, Flanders, Southern America). Artworks include, among the others, a Raising of the Cross by Francisco del Rincon, I Thirst, and The Way of Calvary Gregorio Fernández, Adoration of the Magi by Alonso Berruguete, Lamentation of Christ by Juan de Juni, Penitent Magdalene by Pedro de Mena or the Holy Sepulchre or passage of the Sleepers Alonso de Rozas. During the Holy Week in Valladolid the museum gives 104 images (distributed in the corresponding pasos) to the processions for the brotherhoods.

Really terrific place with an emphasis on religious sculptures but many paintings as well. Has a couple buildings, I saw the permanent collection and the separate nativity room. Items date to 12th century, with some knockout pieces. In a beautiful area in a beautiful city. Good staff. Free on Sundays - go at opening - 10am - as it gets crowded by noon.

The museum was incredible! But the guy in the front desk was unbarable! Did not help us at all! Was rude and arrogant!
