Museu de les Arts Decoratives, Decorative arts museum in Barcelona, Spain

The Museu de les Arts Decoratives exhibits European collections of ceramics, textiles, furniture, glassware, and metalwork from medieval times through industrial revolution periods.

The museum opened in 1932 at Palau Reial de Pedralbes, relocated during Spanish Civil War to Olot, and returned to Barcelona in different locations before closing in 2012.

This institution maintains extensive collections of Spanish industrial design objects, including carriages, tapestries, clocks, and traditional furniture representing regional craftsmanship.

The museum collections were integrated into the Disseny Hub Barcelona in 2014, making them accessible alongside textile and graphic arts exhibitions.

The original building featured gardens partially designed by Antoni Gaudí, with a Caribbean-style palace and Gothic chapel constructed by Joan Martorell i Montells.
