Valencia’s museum scene spans futuristic architecture and centuries of local tradition. The City of Arts and Sciences, designed by Santiago Calatrava, anchors the cultural landscape with the Hemisfèric planetarium and the interactive Príncipe Felipe Science Museum. Art enthusiasts can explore Spain’s first modern art center at IVAM, while the Museum of Las Fallas preserves the city's unique festival heritage.
