BARCELONA GEOLOGY Museum |
As well as the undeniable interest of its exhibits and the important scientific and educational work it carries out, the Museu de Geologia, located in Ciutadella Park, has something which makes it unique: it was Barcelona's first public museum and was founded in 1878 with Francesc Martorell's bequest to the city. Since then, the museum has remained active and its collections reveal to us the secrets of mineralogy and palaeontology in an entertaining and educational way. The neo-classical-style building was designed by the architect Antoni Rovira i Trias.
