Argentona Water Jug Museum

The Argentona Water Jug Museum displays over 3,000 water vessels, highlighting their functionality, design evolution, and manufacturing techniques throughout different periods.

The museum opened its doors in August 1975, stemming from a traditional festival that commemorates a 17th-century vow to Saint Dominic during a pestilence.

The permanent collection includes ceramic water jugs from various regions, demonstrating local craftsmanship and pottery traditions dating back to the 17th century.

Located at Plaça de l'Església 9, the museum offers guided tours, pottery workshops, and educational programs for visitors interested in ceramic craft techniques.

The museum features the Espai Picasso section, inaugurated in 2006, which displays four water jugs created by Pablo Picasso and explores his ceramic work.
