History
Architects Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano adapted a former car-repair workshop on an adjoining plot for the expansion. The project increased the museum’s usable area from 1,700 to 3,300 square metres, with a design intended to echo the existing house.
- 1911The family moved into the house in 1911; construction continued until 1919. Enrique María Repullés designed it under Sorolla’s direction to combine a home, workplace and garden.
- 1925Sorolla’s wife, Clotilde García del Castillo, left the house and collection to the Spanish state to create a museum honoring him.
- 1931The state accepted the bequest and pledged to create a museum foundation.
- 1932The museum opened with Sorolla’s son, Joaquín Sorolla García, as its first director; he remained in the role until his death in 1948.
- Civil War–1941The museum closed during the Civil War and reopened to the public in 1941.
