The Museum of Artistic Reproductions

While exploring the Old Town of Bilbao, you’ll come across the former Corazón de María Church, now home to the Museum of Artistic Reproductions. This unique and culturally rich space was founded in 1927 with a clear mission: to make the great masterpieces of classical art accessible to the people of Biscay. At the time, travelling across Europe was a rare luxury, especially for artistic purposes. The museum’s collection is made up of faithful reproductions of famous works, allowing visitors to admire exact copies of the Venus de Milo, the Parthenon frieze, and many other iconic pieces. If you’ve ever doubted that copying can be an art form in itself, this place might just change your mind.
