In the Museum of Art visitors will find frescoes and pictures by the Murcia-born painter Nicolá Villacis (1616-94), a pupil of Velázquez, works by many local artists and pictures by Ribera, Degrain and Picasso.The museum offers a journey into the history of art from the 15th century, and includes canvasses from different periods and styles.

The Museum of Art has a major pictorial collection, which includes canvasses dating from the Middle Ages through to Costumbrist and decorative painting. In its rooms you can admire pictures by Joaquín Sorolla and Romero de Torres, amongst other Spanish painters from different periods and origins.

Along to Rio Segura
A short distance south of the cathedral, on the street along the left bank of the Río Segura, is the Glorieta de España, a beautiful public garden with the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) on its northern side. At its west end is the Plaza de Martínez Tornel, from which Murcia's main traffic artery, the Gran Vía del Escultor Salzillo, runs north.

Museum of the Arab Town Walls (Museo de la Muralla Árabe)
In Plaza Santa Eulalia, south of the Museum of Art, Moorish and medieval town walls have been brought to light. Objects found in the excavations are to be displayed in the Museo de la Muralla Árabe which is due to open shortly.
