Nearby, in Palamós, the Fishing Museum offers a tour through the history of this activity which is such an intrinsic part of the Costa Brava’s village life. The Cork Museum, in Palafrugell, and the Farinera Flour Mill and Ecomuseum, in Castelló d’Empúries, are two magnificent examples of museums that focus on industrial heritage.
But if it’s modern art that interests you, then the Dalí Museum in Figueres will take you on a tour of the Empordà genius Salvador Dalí’s surrealism, while the temporary exhibitions of works from the Carmen Thyssen private collection in Sant Feliu de Guíxols are another attractive artistic option.
Neither is the magical world of toys neglected by the Costa Brava’s museums, as you’ll be able to see for yourself if you visit the Catalan Toy Museum, in Figueres.
