Full description

This compact Eixample gallery gathers Art Nouveau furniture, stained glass, and decorative objects that quietly rival the grander Modernisme showpieces elsewhere in the city, all inside a modest storefront-scale space. A 4.3-star rating and strong hidden-gem and culture scores reflect visitors' surprise at how much is packed into so small a footprint — several mention having tried for years to fit in a visit before finally making it.

A rotating basement exhibition adds variety beyond the permanent furniture and glasswork displays. At 45 minutes and a budget-friendly price, it's an efficient, rewarding stop for anyone interested in Barcelona's decorative arts.

Reviews

Really impressed by this small but incredibly interesting museum. I have been trying to visit for years but with the pandemic and other issues haven’t got around to it until now. Well worth the visit. Great temporary exhibition going on right now about Els 4 Gats. A key museum to understanding the city.
