Museu Frederic Marès

The Museu Frederic Marès is an art and sculpture museum housed in the Palau Reial Major in Barcelona. Located right next to the city's cathedral, it holds thousands of objects from the personal collection of the sculptor Frederic Marès. The collection includes statues ranging from pre-Roman times to the first half of the twentieth century, with a particular focus on medieval Christian art. In addition to the large sculptures, the museum features a so-called collector's cabinet, where handcrafted items such as fans and keys are on display. Here you can gain a wide-ranging look at artistic development across different eras.
