Frederic Marés Museum Sculptures and everyday objects

Pl. Sant Iu 5 Barcelona 08002 +34 93 310 5800 http://www.museumares.bcn.es

Sculptor Frederic Marés i Deulovol donated his house to the city as a museum. One section of it has been laid out to give you an overview of the development of sculpture in the Hispanic world from the pre-Roman era to the beginning of the 20th century. The other section is called Gabinete del Coleccionista (Collector's Cupboard) and it's a display of 1000s of 19th-century household objects like fans, pipes and children's dolls arranged according to Marés's own taste to give the public a picture of everyday life in that period. You'll find it conveniently located next to the Catedral. In summer, there's a nice outdoor cafe here. Review © 2009, Wcities
