Opened in 2002, the Fishing Museum is dedicated to fishing knowledge and dissemination, and Costa Brava's maritime heritage. Located in the Palamós fishing port in an old warehouse called "Tinglado", the permanent exhibition explains the history, current affairs and sustainable fishing in Costa Brava's future. The Fundació Promediterrània manages the Fishing Museum, a municipal facility. The Fishing Museum began in 1920 with founding the Cau de la Costa Brava in order to set up a new museum. In 1994, the Palamós City Council signed an agreement with the University of Girona to create a field of study and investigation to create the museum project. This collaboration redefined the project to turn it into a thematic museum dedicated to fishing in the Costa Brava. In 1999, the project for the Inventory of Maritime and Fishing Heritage of the Costa Brava began, as part of the Ethnological Heritage Inventory of Catalonia. Another project development aim was to change the headquarters to one located in the fishing port, much more linked to the theme. In 1999 Ports of the Generalitat de Catalunya ceded the 'Tinglado' building, which now houses the Fishing Museum. More information...
