    Beautiful architecture, great exhibitions, fun and interactive. I'd say this museum is a hidden gem for tourists going to Barcelona, specially those with children. It's a huge refurbished textile factory turned into an interactive science museum with huge exhibitions, a large car collection, a radio studio, a miniature train set, a replica of the MIR and Soyuz. They still have a lot of the old textile industry in the museum and they teach you and show all the process it's fun times for science and technology lovers regardless of the age. But of course due to the interactive expositions is a great place to bring the young ones.

    Ancient textile factory transformed into a science museum. At the beginning you can find a permanent exhibition about different kinds of energy. The rest of the museum is dedicated to the textile process at the end of the XIX century. There are plenty of activities for children.

    The museum is well designed. There are so many informative scientific experiments especially for children. The whole tour can be taken approximately 2-3 hours.

    Been here several times with my son since he was just a few months old. He has always enjoyed it. Sometimes he wants to stay an hour, sometimes just 10 mins to see the cars... (he is only young) He loves the wooden trains one can push kids around in... Update: Now 3 (and his brother 4) - much better age. They can spend quite a while here now...

    We quite like this museum as an easy activity for kids 6&3.. lots of buttons to press and some old arcade machines.. however there is no AC in summer and so it was very hot and most of the exhibitions are only written in Catalan, so the kids had to go with my explanations of how things probably work 🤣🤣

    Price vs quality amazing even though some stuff wasnt open and the walking routes are a bit confusing. You can even enjoy this one without spanish skills (look at machines and push buttons) - great for children.

    Really interesting collection of historic industrial equipment. Obviously most of the displays are in Spanish but you can get the gist of what's being said.

  • 4/5 Jelen S. 5 years ago on Google
    Although I did not get a chance to spend much time in it, I was quite amazed by the building's modernist factory structure. The collection of cars - what I had a chance to see- surprised me! Look for a "lady", 2 seater, battery only operated, steering ROD (not wheel!!) cutest, turn-of-the-century car!!! And we thought we were so modern!!! I have it on my bucket list to return, as the place was enormous and looked promising!

👍 Modernist urban mansion built in 1905 for the bourgeoisie Freixa family with impressive landscaped grounds now housing Terrassa Council Tourist Office and public park. Designed by a local industrial architect Lluís Muncuncill. It had 6 bedrooms for each family member. And lots of luxurious features...
