The Museu contains thousands of items from the collection of sculptor Frederic Marès.[1] Located near the Barcelona Cathedral, the museum collection includes statuary from pre-Roman times through to the first half of the Twentieth Century, with a particular emphasis on medieval Christian art, and a separate 'Collector's Cabinet' of artisan items such as fans and keys.
