Cabinet of the Collector
Cabinet of the Collector
The Collector's cabinet it will allow us to visit a very different museum without leaving the same building.
Originally this section was named by Frederic Marès as the "Sentimental Museum". The current denomination tries to recover the tradition of the primitive cabinets of collectors of antiques and curiosities.
We can walk for a total of 17 rooms, where thousands of curious and endearing objects are accumulated which reflect the life and customs of the past, especially of the 19th century.
The original section has been respected: the distribution of the collections, the names that Marès gave to the rooms, the variegated presentation of the objects and the intimate atmosphere that transports us easily into the fascinating world of collecting.
