Museu Frederic Marès

Nestled in the heart of Barcelona, the Museu Frederic Marès stands as a testament to the eclectic tastes of its namesake, Frederic Marès. Opened in 1948, this museum was once the home of the eccentric traveler and collector, who bequeathed his vast and varied collection to the city upon his death in 1991. The space is filled with an array of curiosities, each artifact telling a story of Marès’s travels and interests. Visitors can explore the well-preserved rooms, which offer a glimpse into the life of a passionate collector and the diverse treasures he amassed over a lifetime.
