Frederic Mares was a local Barcelona artist and collector.
The biggest part of this collection is sculptures.
But more amazing is his collection of stuff from every day life.
His sculpture collection was magnificent to own in a private collection.
Frederic Mares donated his sculpture collections to the city of Barcelona in 1944.
He died in 1991 at the age of 98.
The museum has been completely remodeled and just reopened this summer.
What a beautiful museum. What a great man to leave his collection to the city for everyone to enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about what he designed for every day life? Do you mean the sculptures?
