This year is the centenary of the Meteorological Service of Catalunya. It's a very important milestone on all levels: scientific, political, cultural and social. This exhibition traces the history of the institution, from its origins, creation, consolidation and closure of the first period (1921-1939), to its re-foundation and growth up to the present (1996-2021).

The Meteorological Service of Catalunya was born from the Mancomunitat de Catalunya's efforts to modernize the country and create infrastructures and services to improve the population's standard of living and our knowledge of the environment.

It was proposed by Dr Eduard Fontserè in 1919, after he attended the first international conference of meteorological service directors. There he was made aware of how important it was for Catalunya to provide tools that would help foster meteorological and climatological knowledge to make it available to everyone.

This hundred-year-old institution, continues in its calling as a public service to inform about the state of the atmosphere and to improve people's knowledge of the climate in order to better understand the place we live in.
