More than 7,600 people have visited the exhibition that includes part of the legacy inherited by the collector Cristina Boissiè

More than 7,600 people have already visited Boca Calvari Museum the exhibition that includes a first selection of the enormous heritage bequeathed to Benidorm by the French collector Cristina Boissiè Charpentier. The councilor of Historical Heritage, Ana Pellicer, has indicated that "this exhibition has aroused the interest of residents and tourists by exhibiting pieces, books, furniture and paintings that help draw and review the history, ethnography and European culture of the last four centuries".

Pellicer recalled that "this exhibition will be open until January 20, so that citizens still have more than a week to approach Boca Calvari Museum and enjoy or rediscover this show, which is the result of a lifetime, Cristina Boissiè's, dedicated to art and collecting ".

On the ground floor of the museum, some of the most emblematic pieces of the Cristina Boissiè collection are exhibited, including a sacristy furniture, a headboard made from an 18th century religious altarpiece, and the fantastic watch collection hand. In the two upper floors there are thematic showcases with children's games, ceramics and tiles from the XVII to the XIX centuries, kitchen utensils, centenary garments, decorative pieces, furniture from the professional practice of medicine or jewelery, musical instruments, objects linked to grooming and personal care, carpentry tools or agricultural work, and some of the oldest copies of the legacy library.

The councilor thanked once again Cristina Boissiè "her generosity with Benidorm, since there are thousands of pieces that she has donated to the City Council, all of them in an unbeatable state of conservation and that little by little we will be showing in successive exhibitions".

The donation is made up of the entire Cristina Boissiè family library, her heritage and decoration, as well as the collection of oil paintings and drawings of her husband, the Sevillian painter Francisco Díaz, a part of which is exhibited in the current exhibition.

Since its inauguration, the exhibition has received an average of just over 360 daily visitors, although on December 16 and 30 the public almost doubled.

The exhibition can be visited until January 20 at the museum's regular time, from Tuesday to Sunday from 10.30 am to 1.30 pm and from 5 pm to 8 pm.
