Museu Martorell, Natural science museum in Parc de la Ciutadella, Barcelona, Spain.
The Museu Martorell exhibits extensive geological and paleontological collections within a neoclassical building featuring symmetrical proportions and stone columns.
Barcelona's first public museum opened in 1882 through the donation of Francesc Martorell Peña's personal collections of archaeology and natural sciences.
The museum building, designed by Antoni Rovira i Trias, represents the scientific advancement and institutional development of nineteenth-century Barcelona.
Located within Barcelona's urban park, the museum maintains research facilities and a specialized library focusing on geological and natural science studies.
The museum's original collection contained archaeological artifacts that were later transferred, transforming it into a dedicated geological research center.
