This museum was founded in 1929 with funds left for this purpose by Luis Moróder Peiró, a great follower of bullfighting, and the private collection of the picador, José Bayard "Badila". During its more than 70 years of existence, it has been up-dated and completed such that now it is one of the largest in Spain. It seeks to give as much projection as possible to its bullfighting exhibits, and there is also a research centre within its walls for the promotion of bullfighting in all its different aspects. Objects related to the art from XVIII, XIX and XX centuries are also on display.
