The house was rehabilitated and fitted out by the municipal architect Miguel Ángel Beloqui, who, respecting all its compartments, adapted it to be a Museum capable of displaying a painting collection that "moves" and makes the viewer "feel and live" the painting of Ramón Gaya.

Of the original building, the façade with its balconies, railings, oriel and the main staircase with its exterior windows were preserved.

All these representative elements of Murcian architecture and, through them, the exterior “dusty and warm” Murcian light, shimmering and tinged by the square, have housed the Museum exhibition rooms where the collection hashung since 1990. Ramón Gaya's life s work turned into a collection.
