The Maricel Museum is a museum located in the centre of Sitges; reopened after a major refurbishment in 2015. The Maricel Museum is part of the Barcelona Provincial Council Local Museum Network. In 1969, the Barcelona Provincial Corporation bought the building of Maricel de Mar to house the heterogeneous collection belonging to Doctor Jesús Pérez-Rosales (Manila, 1896-Barcelona, 1989), a well known gynaecologist and enthusiastic collector. A year later the Museu Maricel was inaugurated. Made up of more than 3 000 items of varying origin, the collection includes Romanesque murals (like the Christ Pantocrator from Santa Maria de Cap d'Aran, dated in the twelfth century), examples of Gothic painting on wood (amongst them two pieces from the altarpiece of Sant Pere de Cubells), Renaissance carvings and altarpieces, Modernista and Noucentista sculptures by Josep Llimona (Distress), Enric Clarasó head of Child Crying, Joan Rebull (Rest, Dawn and Gypsy Child), Josep Clarà, Josep Cañas and Pablo Gargallo (The Reaper), six allegorical murals by Josep M. Sert on the First World War, along with numerous pictures and items of furniture, precious metal, ceramics and porcelain. More information...
