The Museu de Carrosses Fúnebres, or Funeral Carriages Museum, offers a distinctive look into Barcelona's funeral history. Located in Montjuïc Cemetery, this small museum houses a collection of ornate 19th and early 20th-century funeral carriages and hearses. Visitors often appreciate the intricate craftsmanship and historical significance of these vehicles, which provide insight into past funeral customs and social classes. The museum's atmosphere is described as somber yet respectful, befitting its subject matter. While some find the topic morbid, many visitors are surprised by how interesting and educational the experience can be. The museum is compact, allowing for a quick visit, but the unique nature of its exhibits makes it memorable. Some reviewers note that information is primarily in Catalan and Spanish, which can be a drawback for non-speakers. The museum's location within the cemetery grounds adds to its contextual value but may require some effort to reach. Overall, it's considered an off-the-beaten-path attraction that appeals to those interested in cultural history or unusual museums.
