MNACTEC

The MNACTEC occupies an industrial building with shell-shaped arches and curved windows, displaying scientific and technological exhibits across 11,000 square meters.

The museum opened in 1976 in a former textile factory that operated until 1978, when floods damaged the building and led to its closure.

The museum maintains collections of industrial machinery, vintage vehicles, and scientific instruments that document the technological evolution of Catalonia through centuries.

Visitors can explore permanent exhibits about energy sources, transportation history, and textile manufacturing processes through guided tours and educational programs.

The building features specialized columns that served multiple purposes, including supporting looms, draining rainwater, and holding machinery drive shafts.
