PRAT (Museu d'Art Modern de la Diputació de Tarragona)

Over

Korte feiten: 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.

Hoogtepunten: Look closely for the museum's unexpected highlight: a dazzling collection of over 200 pieces of antique glassware, from Roman-era vessels to 19th-century pharmaceutical bottles, shimmering in a dedicated gallery. 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.
