Museu de l'Empordà

The Museu de l'Empordà is an art museum spread across four floors with collections spanning ancient objects to modern works. The exhibition spaces organize artworks from different periods, providing a broad view of artistic development in the region.

The museum began in 1885 when it received its first collection from the Prado Museum, establishing itself as a regional art center. This foundation allowed the institution to grow into a place where local artistic history is preserved.

The museum displays works by Catalan and regional artists whose creations reflect the artistic traditions of this area. You can see how local creators expressed their connection to the land and people around them through their work.

You can explore multiple floors at your own pace and see artworks from different time periods throughout the building. Information materials are available in several languages to help guide your visit.

The museum holds charcoal drawings by an art teacher who instructed Salvador Dalí during his early training. These works document a direct link between a local educator and one of the most renowned artists of the modern era.
