On the occasion of the celebration of 200th anniversary of the birth of the politician and writer Víctor Balaguer and Cirera (Barcelona, 1824 - Madrid, 1901), the collector's papers offer a documentary sample of Frederic Marès' personal collection related to his figure.
The Frederic Marès Museum highlights the heritage legacy of Víctor Balaguer and the connections between the two characters who, despite not matching generations, promoted conceptually similar projects and of great cultural significance, such as the creation of two museum institutions: the Víctor Balaguer Museum Library , a pioneer in the incipient museology in Catalonia and inaugurated in 1884 in a new building, and the Frederic Marès Museum, inaugurated in 1948 in the Palau Major in Barcelona.
