The Bullfighting Museum has two different parts, one dedicated to the Royal Mastery of Cavalry and another dedicated to Bullfighting, which in turn is divided into four rooms: in the First, the oldest collections are preserved, highlighting the silk poster that dates back to the year 1740. There is a representation of the workers who existed in the 18th century such as hamstringers, timbaleros, lancers and a section dedicated to the chivalric games played by the nobility in the 17th and 18th centuries.
In the second room we find a collection of paintings with bullfighting themes from the 19th century, among which the “ Pepe Hillo's death fuck” by Eugenio Lucas Velázquez, for its great realism.
The third room is dedicated to bullfighting in the time of Juan Belmonte and Joselito El Gallo, bronzes and canvases of these famous bullfighters appear.
And in the fourth room we find the most recent backgrounds, stuffed bull heads and costumes of lights and capes, as well as such as paintings and oil paintings by contemporary authors.
