Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món

In 2017 the Museu Etnològic and the Museu de Cultures del Món became a single museum, the Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món (MuEC), with two headquarters: the Montjuïc site, in the building of the Museu Etnològic inaugurated in 1973 and reopened in 2015 after a four-year remodeling, and Montcada site, in the spaces of the Nadal i Marquès de Llió palaces, restored expressly to create this space for preservation, dissemination and social projection.
