Inside the Royal Basilica of the Virgen de los Desamparados (the Virgin of the Forsaken) is the MUMA, a museum dedicated to the Patron Saint of Valencia.

The Museo Mariano houses more than 400 works of art on the Virgen de los Desamparados, the Basilica and its Archconfraternity, which have been preserved from the Renaissance to the present day.

The exhibition has a wide selection of works by some of the great masters of painting such as Antonio Palomino, José Vergara, Vicente Requena, Mariano Benlliure, Salvador Tuset and Ramón Estolz, as well as a broad collection of objects from various disciplines: sculpture, engraving, ceramics , textiles, furniture, offerings, devotions as well as foundational and commemorative documents.

The MUMA can be accessed through the door at the Plaza de la Almoina, using the staircase or lift, to the first floor of the Basilica, where you can see, in addition to the exhibition, the nave of the church, the dome painted by Antonio Palomino and the very image of the Patron Saint.

The museum has audio guides available in six languages, which are included in the ticket price.
