Casa Lis (Art Nouveau & Art Déco Museum)
Museo Art Nouveau y Art Déco - Casa Lis
An Art Nouveau glass residence built on the old city walls, housing porcelain figurines, glassware, jewelry and decorative art. Its stained-glass facade faces the river.
Casa Lis was built in 1905 for the industrialist Miguel de Lis. It has a cast-iron frame and large areas of colored glass, and its south facade facing the Tormes River is the most striking. It is now the Art Nouveau and Art Deco Museum, whose collection includes Gallé glassware from France, Lalique jewelry, German porcelain figurines, enamelware and furniture. Admission is about 5 euros, and there are often free time slots on Thursday mornings. The museum café offers a view of the stained-glass windows.
