Municipal Museum of Requena

Monument · Requena, La Plana de Utiel-Requena, Valencia

The Municipal Museum of Requena, in the province of Valencia, has occupied since 1975 the former Royal Convent of El Carmen, next to the church of the same name. Founded in 1968 as the Museo Histórico Artístico de Requena y su comarca, it has been part of the Network of Local Ethnological Museums since 2017. Its permanent collections cover traditional dress from the Campo de Requena-Utiel between 1789 and 1914, the area's wine production from vine planting to bottling —with a room devoted to wine holding 1,200 bottles—, a rural and urban dwelling with furniture from the 18th to the 20th century, and an archaeological display on daily life and the Roman funerary world of the area, including a reconstruction of the funerary monument of La Calerilla de Hortunas.
