Museums of Granollers
Museu de Granollers
The Museu de Granollers, located in the city centre, has a highly eclectic collection of archaeological finds, art, decorative arts, ethnographic and numismatic items. The goal of the Museum is to display artistic expression without any chronological limit and it organises permanent and temporary exhibitions with this aim in mind, as well as talks and a programme of activities to raise awareness of art among all kinds of people.
Address: Carrer Anselm Clave, 40, 08401 Granollers, Barcelona
Telephone: +34 93 842 68 40
Timetable: CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS
Of particular note are the works by Jordi Benito, Antoni Cumella and Tàpies, as well as two Roman mosaics found in excavations of the city.
The building was opened in 1976 and was designed by the architects Bosch, Botey and Cuspinera, in a Brutalist style. It was one of the first newly-built museums within Catalan architecture in the post-Franco era and is one of Granollers’ most impressive modern structures.
The Museum also manages the Adoberia, the centre for the historical interpretation of medieval Granollers, showing examples of the medieval pre-industrial complex from the 16th to the 19th century and also a part of the medieval wall, as well as explaining the history of Granollers.
Adoberia dels Ginebreda, centre for the historical interpretation of medieval Granollers
Today, Adoberia dels Ginebreda is an archaeological site and a unique place to discover the city’s medieval history based on an important section of the old city walls, the remains of two of the more than a dozen towers that defended Granollers and also traces of the old tannery, the only one that can still be seen today in Granollers.

The archaeological complex forms the heart of the centre for historical interpretation: the ideal place to get to know and explain the city’s growth and transformation from its medieval beginnings to the modern era, characterised by its extensive city walls and a number of crafts, trades and activities, especially related to leather, and a powerful, diversified market.
