from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Museo Taurino de Valencia (German: Bullfighting Museum Valencias ) was founded in 1929 as the first bullfighting museum in the world and is one of the largest of its kind in Spain . The museum is located on a side street of the large bullring and deals with 300 years of bullfighting history in Valencia.

The museum has a large permanent exhibition, mainly from the legacy of bullfighting fan Luis Moroder Peiró, who bequeathed his extensive collection of bullfighting objects and books to the provincial life. In addition, there is a private collection of the famous torero José Bayard Badila, which created the basis for the museum.

In the hall of permanent exhibitions, one can see the history of the Valencian bullfight in chronological order. In addition to exhibits such as photos from past bullfights, there are antiquarian advertising posters from the 19th century. The visitor can also look at magnificent, original clothing worn by the toreros.
