About

The Ethnographic Museum of Ripoll has its origins in the Folkloric Archive and Museum of Ripoll. It was the first ethnographic museum in Catalonia and along 70 years it uninterruptedly collected, studied, conserved and taught about the heritage of our region. In March 2011, after 10 years of readaptation and maintenance, the museum opened its gates to carry on preserving and expanding its collection and to show a heritage, that includes the collections about shepherds, farmers, jobs, religiosity and the production of forged iron and hand fire weapons in the Ripollès region. The Museum offers an interesting journey, enjoyable for both children and adults that allows the discovery of a recent past, a different way of living and feeling and the symbols of identity of a territory.
