Lladró Museum

The basics

Founded by Juán, José, and Vicente Lladró in the town of Almàssera, Lladró quickly earned renown for its decorative porcelain figurines and sculptures, many of which were produced in very limited runs. Today, the brand is celebrated worldwide, and fans can visit the Lladró Museum to learn about its beginnings. The museum’s exhibitions include porcelain pieces now retired from production and rare paintings by artists like Rubens and El Greco.

On a guided tour, visitors can learn more about the production process and the brand’s history and explore the adjacent factory to see how pieces are made. Some tours depart from central Valencia, making logistics easy.

Things to know before you go

• The Lladró Museum is free to visit.

• A shop is hosted on-site for those wishing to take home a unique souvenir.

• Book your visit via Lladro's website if you are not visiting on a guided tour. It’s advised to book well in advance to guarantee your entry.
