Museum Exhibitions. (Medina del Campo)

Medina del Campo has many reasons to visit.

Monuments, Churches, Castle, Easter, Sunday commercial ... This year also Ages of Man - Passio ", together with Medina de Rioseco.

But beyond that, it also has a jewel.

Museum is called the Fair

visit to this museum should be mandatory for anyone going to Medina del Campo.

The Museum of the Fairs was created by pursuing key the study, preservation and dissemination of all those historical events, artistic, anthropological, cultural documentaries and generally related to the world of commerce, fairs and markets, with specific attention to the cultural heritage of Medina del Campo.

Located in the ancient Church of San Martín , the Museum of the Fairs has a permanent collection - which emphasizes prayer Sculpture of Bishop Fray Lope de Barrientos mid fifteenth century alabaster and relief La Piedad, Juan de Juni, belonging to the set to commission around 1575 the wealthy forex trader Francisco de Dueñas -

With regard to past splendor of Medina del Country fairs, the Museum has many documents, which features a bill of exchange for Eduardo Escaja and Bernaldo de Grimaldo, shelves Genoese in Seville, amounting to 159,164 mrs. dated Medina del Campo, November 3, 1495

Apart from this, the Museum has in my opinion, two activities that make it a dynamic museum and that means that can be visited several times throughout the year.

The first is the Museum called "The part of the month"

Every month is exposed - often after previous restoration - a different piece (sculpture, painting, tapestry, paper ... ..).

Actual "part of the Month"

With this activity the museum get two things: First restore parts related to the cultural heritage of Medina and the region. The second to inform the world the existence of such parts, often being in cloistered convents, often being "abandoned" in one of the many churches, were unknown to us.

The second, temporary exhibitions, exhibitions with different themes, bringing together, always with an eye fixed in Medina del Campo, very different aspects.

Unforgettable for me, "Knights and knighthood. 500 years of Amadis of Gaul "

Three recent data (and a final reflection)

The first is that Not only this is a unique museum, but people who run and people who make it possible with their daily work and their efforts are exceptional.

The second recommendation: Become a member of the The "Friends of the Museum and Heritage Fairs Medina del Campo" created in 2002 by mutual agreement between the Fair Museum Foundation and the Association "Medina for their Heritage, to join collaborative efforts, both in the activities of the Museum, and in the defense and conservation of Cultural Heritage of Medina del Campo.
