Cerdanyola Art Museum. Can Domènech

The Cerdanyola Art Museum occupies Can Domènech, a late 19th century modernist building with decorative stained glass windows and carved facade details. The interior contains four exhibition halls that display works by Catalan artists produced over several decades.

The building was designed in 1894 by architects Gaietà Buïgas and Eduard Maria Balcells as a theater-casino complex. It was later converted into a private residence and eventually transformed into the museum it is today.

The building reflects how wealthy families in late 19th century Catalonia designed their homes with ornamental details and artistic craftsmanship. Visitors can observe how decorative stained glass and carved elements were integrated into residential spaces of that era.

The location is easily reached via Cerdanyola train station and sits in a quiet residential neighborhood. The interior is accessible throughout and designed for comfortable viewing of the displays.

The museum preserves the Tríptic de les dames de Cerdanyola, a series of Art Nouveau stained glass artworks that were returned to their original location within the building. This restoration allows visitors to view the pieces within the spaces they were originally designed for.
