    Cool! If you like art, and especially modern art, this is a great destination. Don’t worry about the admission fee, as it’s €2 or €3 if I recall correctly.

    Beautiful space with a lot of sculpture art. Sometimes a bit too crowded per space.

    The Vila Casas Foundation is a magnificent visit, a beautiful museum located in the Can Mario space and with a collection of modern Catalan sculpture from the 20th century. An essential visit to a magnificent museum!

    The recovery of the old factory as a museum is a great work, honors Palafrugell. The adjacent tower that used to be a water reservoir for the proper functioning of the cork process is spectacularly beautiful. The museum has a permanent exhibition of contemporary sculpture from the Vila Casas Foundation, patrons of which yesterday, September 7, received the gold medal from the Generalitat. We have also seen the Subirachs storm. It is worth your visit.

    Can Mario hosts one of the most interesting museums outside of Barcelona. Currently offering an exhibition on the collaboration between 3 giants of the Catalan art scene, Gaudí, Miró and Gomis, to create some of the most emblematic architecture and art using materials like cement, ceramics, glass and metals in new and creative ways. The permanent collection is also full of surprises from contemporary artists. In short, a must see/do when in the Palafrugell area.

    A magnificent collection of contemporary sculpture by Catalan artists, which complements the Foundation's other initiatives... a gift for the senses, a surprise in every room. And the recovery of a factory in the center of Palafrugell.

    Let's see a temporary exhibition of Dolors Puigdemont. I quite liked it. The permanent collection is well displayed and interesting. There are important iron sculptures outside for the enjoyment of the population.

    Esta muy bien para el precio que tiene 3 euros (1 con precio reducido) tenia mucha variedad de esculturas de todo tipo. Lo unico que me ha faltado es más explicacion. Por lo demás muy interesante. Incluso volveria ya que hay una sección de exposiciones temporales y muy completas.

    (Translated by Google) Museum of the Vila-Casas Foundation dedicated to contemporary sculpture, with temporary exhibitions of an excellent standard. The building in which it is located is an old factory recovered for museum use. Both the content and the continent are very, very worth it. (Original) Museu de la Fundació Vila-Casas dedicat a l'escultura contemporània, i amb exposicions temporals d'un nivel excel·lent. L'edifici en què es troba és una antiga fàbrica recuperada per a ús museístic. Tant el contingut com el continent valen molt, molt la pena.

  • 5/5 Oscar C. 3 years ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Amazing artistic experience in a nice building. Incredible having this level of culture in a town so small, some big cities would love to have half of what has this. A must see for low-speed cultured tourism interested in local (still alive) artists with a taste of some with an european high profile.

👍👍 Exceptionally quaint and immaculately clean small tourist village on a small cove. Some local fishing still taking place. Situated on the costal walking trails so well worth stopping for coffee, lunch or evenings. Probably packed and best avoided in the summer high season unless you like lots of...
