The National Museum of Ceramics and Decorative Arts González Martí, located in the Palace of the Marquis of Dos Aguas, will offer free entry to all visitors from June 9th to September 9th, 2026.

This measure coincides with the start of restoration work on the building's spectacular alabaster portal, one of the jewels of Valencian baroque and one of the most photographed architectural elements in the city. During this period, protection systems will also be installed on the facades, meaning the main facade will be temporarily hidden behind scaffolding.
Despite the exterior works, the museum will keep all its rooms open and continue its activities normally. Provisional access will be through the door located at Poeta Querol street, number 2. The museum's opening hours throughout the summer period will be Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and on Sundays and public holidays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Located in the historic center, the National Museum of Ceramics and Decorative Arts González Martí is much more than a museum dedicated to ceramics. The space occupies the former Palace of the Marquis of Dos Aguas, considered one of the most spectacular buildings in Valencia and one of the finest examples of 18th-century palatial architecture in Spain.
In addition to housing important collections of Valencian, Spanish, and international ceramics, the museum allows visitors to tour the palace's former noble halls, decorated with historical furniture, paintings, carriages, and decorative art objects that showcase how Valencian aristocracy lived in past eras.
Its famous main portal, made of alabaster by Ignacio Vergara, represents one of the highest exponents of Valencian baroque and is precisely the element that will undergo restoration in the coming months.
Visitors to the museum this summer will have free access to both the permanent collection and the scheduled temporary exhibitions. Among them is "La Festa Grossa. El Corpus en el Museu," an exhibition commemorating the 700th anniversary of the Corpus Christi celebration in Valencia with over a hundred pieces from the institution's collections.
The free entry aims to facilitate access for citizens and visitors to the museum while conservation work is carried out on the building's exterior. Thus, until September 9th, the facade restoration can also become an opportunity to discover one of Valencia's most interesting museums for free and explore the interior of one of the most spectacular palaces in the entire Valencian Community.
