Tortosa Museum and its collection
Source
The Tortosa Museum, a cultural facility, was inaugurated in 2012. It is the successor of the old museum that was established in 1900 based on the discoveries of the architect Joan Abril i Guanyabens. This historical connection adds a layer of depth to the museum's significance, making it a place where visitors can appreciate not only the exhibits but also the rich history of the institution itself.
Unique Location of the Museum
The Tortosa Museum is housed in the old slaughterhouse of Tortosa, a modernist building designed by the architect Pau Monguió i Segura. Constructed between 1906 and 1908, the building served as a slaughterhouse until 1997. Its unique architecture, inspired by Mudejar style, and its historical significance add to the overall experience of visiting the museum.
Exhibition Space and Coverage
The permanent exhibition room of the Tortosa Museum spans approximately 600 m², spread over two levels. The museum features six areas that narrate the history of Tortosa and its surrounding regions, from prehistory to the present day. This comprehensive coverage of different historical periods provides visitors with a broad understanding of the area's past.
