The collection at the Museu del Modernisme Català takes visitors on a delightful journey back in time to the Modernista era: a period that help to lay the foundations for today’s Barcelona.
Located in the heart of the Eixample the museum is housed in a former textile factory designed by Modernista architect Enric Sagnier. The museum houses a large body of artworks that showcase the aesthetic, intellectual and political relevance of the Modernista movement, which began in Barcelona in the late nineteenth century.
Outstanding figures from that period, such as Antoni Gaudí, Josep Llimona, Puig i Cadafalch and Enrique Clarasó are all represented in the museum, which embraces a full range of artistic disciplines, including painting, sculpture, furniture and decorative arts.
