    Das Museum befindet sich in dem früheren Hospital Santa Cruz.

    Das Gebäude aus dem 16. Jahrhundert fällt durch seine platereske Fassade, den Innenhof und die Treppe, ein Werk von Covarrubias, sowie die Kassettendecken im Mudéjar- und Renaissancestil auf. Die Kollektion ist in drei Bereiche eingeteilt: Archäologie mit der römischen, westgotischen, arabischen und Mudejar-Kultur; Schöne Künste mit einer bedeutenden Ausstellung von toledanischen Gemälden aus dem 16. und 17. Jahrhundert mit Werken von Künstlern wie El Greco; die dritte Abteilung ist der gewerblichen Kunst gewidmet, mit Beispielen der volkstümlichen Kultur und einheimischen kunsthandwerklichen Tradition (Keramik, Glasarbeiten, Stoffe, Schmiede- und Goldschmiedearbeiten).

It is a little cafe right on the corner of the main plaza, Plaza Zocodover. Hillary was a little cold so she wanted to sit inside. We did, but it was so hot! I was very happy …
