Can Tinturé Museum and its collection

Can Tinturé Museum
Source

The Can Tinturé Museum, situated in Esplugues de Llobregat, is a unique cultural destination as it is Spain's first monographic sample tile museum. The museum is housed in a late 19th-century house, which was designed by the renowned architect Claudi Duran i Ventosa. This historical setting adds to the overall charm and appeal of the museum, making it a noteworthy stop for those interested in architecture and art.

Artistic Expression and Cultural Heritage

The Can Tinturé Museum is dedicated to showcasing the artistic expression and cultural heritage of the sample tile. These tiles were used as ceramic coatings in many homes across Catalonia and the Iberian Peninsula, from the Middle Ages to the present day. Visitors to the museum can gain a deeper understanding of this unique art form and its historical significance in the region.

Inclusive Art Experience

The Can Tinturé Museum is committed to making art accessible to all. As part of this commitment, the museum features a multisensory module called "La Mirada Táctil". This tactile interpretation space is designed to be enjoyed by all visitors, but it has been especially adapted to cater to those with visual impairments, blindness, or reduced mobility. This inclusive approach ensures that everyone can experience and appreciate the museum's collection.
