The Museum is located in the Las Ventas Bullring, in the Courtyard of Horses, where all kinds of items related to bulls are on display. It is divided into 6 areas, with more than 150 pieces arranged chronologically and exhibited in this walk through bullfighting history. Most pieces were donated by the great masters.
Among the most representative works, there is a portrait of Belmonte painted by Vázquez Díaz, and a set of sculptures done by Mariano Benlliure. Paintings show common scenes, portraits of bull fighters, and representative sculptures of the greatest moments of the monumental Madrid. The heads of mythical bulls, signs, and busts of important people throughout history can also be seen. One of the most popular areas is Zone 3: The space reserved for bright suits and capes. This is the one of rooms that arouses the most curiosity among fans and among those who enter this world for the first time.
