Murcia Bull Fighting Museum or was it?

Continuing on a day in Murcia we went back out into the gardens and spotted a cafe El Club Taurino, which looked like it was themed with bull fighting, but surely this was not the museum?
After some hesitation I braved going in and asking, remember I do not speak Spanish and the waitress did not speak English, but she pointed to a door and we went through... at last the Toros en Murcia Museum.
Knowing almost nothing about the sport of Bull fighting except for the wonderful costumes they wore, we walked around admiring the craftsmanship of the beautiful costumes with their silk and gold work.
The bull fighters all seemed to be so small.



Not sure I liked the stuffed bulls heads, but it is part of Spanish History



One whole wall was covered in hand painted tambourines.

This had been a great way to spend the day visiting three museums and costing us nothing as they were all free, so we headed for Ikea and lunch.
Lamb shank and chips followed by Carrot cake for me, meatballs and cake for Chris.
