Misericordia Students Write about L’Iber Museum
A group of students from the CIPFP Misericordia College, accompanied by their teacher Meritxell Ferrer visited the L’Iber Museum on 16th of April 2015 to discover what the world’s largest collection of toy soldiers looks like, and to discover the truth about heroes and villains and pretty women from Hollywood.
We asked them to write their opinions about the visit, and this is what they said
Simple, fun and educational. I’ve never thought that toys could tell us about historical facts so well. The recreations of the battles is what I liked the most. Highly Recommended.

The visit to the L´Iber Museum has been very interesting. I didn’t know Valencia had the largest museum of toy soldiers, located in a building with a lot of history. Our tour guide informed us and guided us through the different rooms, and finally we finished the visit with an interesting explanation of the differences and similarities between the films and real history. I recommend it’

It has been a very interesting visit. Bob Yareham, the guide, made a critical explanation about a historical film (made in different Spanish locations) and the real history of these facts. I recommend this visit to L’Iber Museum because it is a good opportunity to increase our critical point of view about the cinema industry and to practise English too. It was a pleasure. Thank you, Bob!

I was very interested in going to L’ Iber Museum of Soldiers, I learned a lot and hope to go again. Furthermore, thanks to Bob I’ve heard stories that I didn’t know about.

I found the visit to the L’Iber Museum very interesting because there were many scenes of scale models representing parts of the history that I had already studied and I really liked remembering them. I also enjoyed seeing the beautiful towns where English films were filmed here in Spain.

Last Thursday we went to the museum L’Iiber in Valencia where we saw a small part of the world history about different battles and warlike confrontations of great importance. Personally, I liked the visit because you learn something new and interesting about some of our ancestors. Thanks to Bob for his patience and sympathy with us.

I have found the museum visit interesting and educational. Our guide knew how to get our attention and he made us participate actively in the visit. In the museum, every scene represents a part of history and is a work of art. I liked very much to discover the truth about heroes, villains and pretty women from Hollywood and, especially, the geographic tour through Spain in the film “Kingdom of Heaven”.

It was a very interesting experience because you can learn history in a dynamic and fun manner, and above all it motivates you to paint a toy, I will do it!!!!!!
Alba
I liked it because it is the largest museum collection of toy soldiers . It tells the story of Spain and finally the film we have seen has taught us about the nature of Spain that I did not know existed.
Katerin
I enjoyed the visit and I would repeat the experience. I think collecting toy soldier is a nice hobby, and this hobby shows our history.

I liked the visit to L’Iber museum, it is an interesting history world in miniature. You see all those toy soldiers, they transport you through history to tell you the story from today our world transformed and capitalist. The most interesting part for me was the Napoleonic room, the passing of Hannibal by Sagunto and the inventions that have been made and are still in use today.
Jessica
