On November 25, 2018, the new museum presentation of the Frederic Marès Studio-library was inaugurated as part of the events commemorating the 70th anniversary of the opening of the Frederic Marès Museum.

This is the space in which Frederic Marès (Portbou, 1893 – Barcelona, ​​1991) had his personal office and his library. It also houses a representative selection of his sculptural production that he donated to the city of Barcelona in 1988. This space was designed ex professo in 1964 and did not become open to visitors until 1996, five years after his death.

The new museum presentation has led to the renewal of the museological discourse, providing informative content about the space, the character and the works exhibited, as well as the exhibition furniture and the replacement of the old lighting with LED lights. The new presentation wanted to maintain the same atmosphere of warmth, as conceived by Frederic Marès himself, and the uniqueness of the space.

The discourse of the new museum presentation has consisted of explaining, through six thematic areas, the trajectory of Frederic Marès, as a sculptor:
