MuseumsEmpordà Museum

Located on the Rambla de Figueres, the Museum is an essential stop for anyone who wants to get to know the Empordà through art. We invite you to enter it, to feel challenged by it, and to discover everything that makes this territory unique.

The collection exhibition of the Empordà Museum is structured around the concepts of “PEOPLE and places” and “PLACES and people”. This story is a contemporary, inclusive approach rooted in the territory, with a strong identity and emotional component. The Museum invites you to reflect on identity, memory and the Empordà landscape, understood as interconnected realities.

Nearly 300 pieces from the Museum’s collection are exhibited, with a wide variety of techniques and styles. Works by Salvador Dalí, Ángeles Santos Torroella and Josep Maria Cañellas stand out, as well as those by Tura Sanglas and Eudald de Juana. You can also see unique archaeological pieces, from prehistoric objects to Greek ceramics of great heritage value.

The visit ends on the third floor where you can visit the Museum’s reserves, the space where all the pieces of the collection that are not part of the exhibition discourse are kept.

Meli's Goal

This exhibition pays tribute to the photographer from Figueres Melitó Casals, known as Meli, creator of an immense archive of more than 100,000 images depicting the second half of the 20th century, which also serves as a visual record and cultural heritage. The exhibition highlights his versatility and the way photography functions both as a professional business and as a medium for artistic creation and visual communication. Through three emblematic spaces in the city, visitors will discover his career, his close relationship with Salvador Dalí, and a body of work that combines portraits, reportages, landscapes, postcards, and scenes of everyday life. A unique perspective on photography as art, profession, and cultural testimony.
