Today we are going to tour L'Iber, the Museum of Lead Soldiers of Valencia, which brings together the largest private collection in the world of this type of figures. And it does so with the purpose of spreading the history of Valencia, Spain and the world through multiple figures and scenarios.
The exhibition includes various collections and scenarios that go beyond soldiers and battles. Thus, we find the room dedicated to the "Daily life", which includes all types of civil miniatures with figures and scenes that refer to aspects of everyday life at different times in history.
In this room there is a journey through the history of fashion and there are also reproductions of the best-known comic characters, such as Tintin, Asterix and Obelix, Corto Maltese ...
I also found it interesting the "Historical Series". In this section we have scenes that represent Prehistory, from the Jurassic to the Paleolithic, such as the hunting of a mammoth or horses, inspired by the Levantine rock art.
In the history of Antiquity we have series of Sumerians, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans and Iberians. Divide into two rooms, it contains dioramas that reproduce a quadriga race, an Anibal battle against the Roman legions, the Popea bath ...
I think this museum can be interesting for young children, personally the miniatures have always fascinated me and from what we can see on the L'Iber website the collections are very beautiful and the scenes reproduced are very successful. The Museum also organizes temporary exhibitions and workshops on weekends, some aimed at children.
So that L'Iber, the Museum of lead soldiers in Valencia, is an interesting walk through these curious figures. Children under 4 enter free, and admission for the elderly it costs 4 euros, like that of adults.
