L’Iber – The Tin Soldier Museum
The largest museum of historical miniatures in the world, with more than 95,000 pieces on display. It is housed in the Palacio de Malferit, one of the finest examples of Mediterranean Gothic architecture.
The museum presents history in three dimensions, from dinosaurs to UN peacekeepers, passing through Ancient Egypt, Rome, the Silk Road and the history of Spain, among many other themes. The original decoration of the rooms has been preserved, reflecting the appearance of a Valencian noble residence at the beginning of the 20th century. The museum also hosts miniature displays and temporary exhibitions. In addition, it serves as a cultural centre, organising conferences, concerts, book presentations, courses, theatre performances and cultural trips, among many other activities.
