National Sculpture Museum

The "National Museum of Sculpture" is a museum in Valladolid, Spain, belonging to the Spanish Ministry of Culture. The museum has an extensive sculptural collection ranging from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. The collections come mostly from churches and monasteries in the Region of Castile, whose pieces of religious art were confiscated by the State in 1836, by order of Minister of Finance Mendizábal. Other parts of the collections come from particular donations, deposits or acquisitions by the State.

The museum was founded as the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts on 4 October 1842. It had its first headquarters at the Palacio de Santa Cruz. On 29 April 1933 it was moved to the Colegio de San Gregorio. Other current seats are in the 16th-century ''Palacio de Villena'' and ''Palacio del Conde de Gondomar''

The museum houses works from the 13th to 19th centuries, executed mostly in the Central Spain, and also in other regions historically connected to Spain (Italy, Flanders, Southern America). Artworks include, among the others, a ''Raising of the Cross'' by Francisco del Rincon, ''I Thirst'', and ''The Way of Calvary'' Gregorio Fernández, ''Adoration of the Magi'' by Alonso Berruguete, ''Lamentation of Christ'' by Juan de Juni, ''Penitent Magdalene'' by Pedro de Mena or the ''Holy Sepulchre'' or ''passage of the Sleepers'' Alonso de Rozas.

During the Holy Week in Valladolid the museum gives 104 images (distributed in the corresponding pasos) to the processions for the brotherhoods.Article from the National Sculpture Museum on the conservation of the images and the protocols of action before the image output in Senhora da Piedade http://museosangregorio.mcu.es/web/pdfs/inicio/PDF_PROCESIONDENTRO.pdf
