The bullfighting museum

IMG_9481a IMG_9482a
Some of the famous bulls
are hung as trophies on the
walls.

Only when you see them in
this way do you appreciate
just how big the animals
were.
Amongst the memorabilia in the museum is this collection of posters.
Posters from corridas are an art form in themselves.

Even if you are not a great fan of bullfighting, it is worth calling in to the museum in Murcia. The trajes de luces on display are quite spectacular and show just how diminutive the taurino that wore them were.
