Cau Ferrat Museum:
The presence of important artists, musicians and writers of the 19th century in the activities that the artist Santiago Rusiñol organized in his house-workshop in Sitges from 1893 turned such a venue into a true temple of Modernism.
He named it Cau, or lair, because he wanted it to be a refuge for poetry lovers and Ferrat because of his collection of wrought iron he had collected on his travels through Catalonia. The building is today the Cau Ferrat Museum, one of the main museums in the county of Garraf.
It brings together ancient art and modern art collections gathered by the Catalan artist and writer. Painting, drawing, sculpture, forging, ceramics, glass and furniture make up a unique artistic ensemble, which includes part of the plastic work of Rusiñol himself, as well as artists such as Casas, Picasso, El Greco, R. Pichot, Mas and Fondevila, Zuloaga, Regoyos and Degouwe de Nucques, Enric Clarasó, Manolo Hugué and Pau Gargallo, among others.
Maricel Museum:
A commented tour while roaming through the rooms of the Maricel Museum, which displays a journey through Catalan art from the 10th century to figuration and realism during the first half of the 20th century.
A visit to Maricel Museum will allow you to admire Romanesque and Gothic works (by Pere Serra, El Mestre d’All, Joan d’Angers, Tomàs Giner and Pedro Berruguete, among others), from Renaissance and Baroque (with furniture and ceramics, and also still lifes) to Neoclassicism (Vicente López). Romanticism (Marià Fortuny, Espalter, Madrazo…), the Luminist School (Roig i Soler, Mas i Fondevila. Miró i Argenter…), Modernism (Rusiñol, Casas, Llimona…), Noucentisme (Joaquim Sunyer, Ismael Smith, Joan Rebull..) and Figuration and Realism during early 20th century (Josep Maria Sert, Pere Pruna, Miquel Villà).
