Museum of Montserrat

The Museum of Montserrat contains six distinct collections with over 1300 pieces, from ancient archaeological artifacts to contemporary artworks spanning multiple centuries.

Founded in 1911 by monk Dom Bonaventura Ubach, the museum originated from a Biblical collection assembled during his extensive travels in Jerusalem and Beirut.

The museum displays works by notable artists including Picasso, Dali, Caravaggio, and El Greco, alongside an Egyptian sarcophagus from the 13th century BC.

Located under St Mary's Square, the museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 to 17:45, with reduced admission prices for students, seniors, and groups.

A collection of sixteen Japanese prints, with eight works by Hiroshige, represents a donation from Catalan librarian Just Cabot to the museum.
