Schnelle Fakten: Housed in a striking neoclassical building from the 18th century that once served as a hospital and later a tobacco factory. The collection spans from the 19th century to contemporary works, with a strong focus on Catalan artists from the Camp de Tarragona region.

The building's former pharmacy has been preserved in situ, complete with original ceramic jars and wooden cabinets that smell faintly of herbs and history.
