National Sculpture Museum
The Museo Nacional de San Gregorio (National Museum of Sculpture) is a museum run by the Spanish Ministry of Culture in Valladolid, Spain. The museum features a large sculptural collection extending from the Middle Ages to the 19th century from churches in the Region of Castile that were confiscated during the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as other specific contributions, deposits, or purchases of the state.
On October 4, 1842, the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts was established. Its early headquarters were located at the Palacio de Santa Cruz. It was relocated to the Colegio de San Gregorio on April 29, 1933. Current residences include the 16th-century Palacio de Villena and the Palacio del Conde de Gondomar.
The museum includes works from the 13th to the 19th century, largely from Central Spain, but also from other historically related areas of Spain (Italy, Flanders, Southern America). Among the artworks is Francisco del Rincon's Raising of the Cross, Gregorio Fernández's I Thirst and The Way of Calvary, Alonso Berruguete's Adoration of the Magi, Juan de Juni's Lamentation of Christ, Pedro de Mena's Penitent Magdalene, and Alonso de Rozas' Holy Sepulchre or Passage of the Sleepers.
