Dr. MELCIOR COLET SPORTS Museum |
In the Eixample district, on the Avinguda Diagonal, a detached modernista-style house stands out among the other buildings. Designed by Puig i Cadafalch in 1911, it is the home of the Museu de I 'Esport. Dr. Colet had his medical practice here and in 1982 donated the property to the Catalan government to set up a museum and research centre dedicated to the world of sport. The collection consists of some 900 exhibits on a sport-related theme, particularly objects associated with Catalan sport, such as Mariano Cafiardo's bicycle, Ricardo Zamora's trophies and the ice axe used by Caries Valles to reach the top of Everest in 1985.
