About
Cau Ferrat 's Museum is the workshop that the painter Santiago Rusinol built in Sitges by the sea in 1893 to house its paintings, iron, ceramics, furniture and antique glass. The museum preserves intact the space and works of art that the modernist painter collected. His visit is an invitation to immerse ourselves in the spirit of Modernism and his idea of the creation of total art. On their walls they upload works by their fellow generations such as Ramon Casas, Ramon Pichot, Ignacio Zuloaga or Dario de Regoyos, and young emerging artists from that period such as Pablo Picasso, Manolo Hugue and Isidre Nonell.

We visited it as the Maricel palace had just closed and we were lucky to see it. This house-museum is dedicated mainly to the painter Santiago Rusinol. Both, as a preserved traditional house, and as a museum with an emphasis on Catalan modernism (but, for example, still hosting 2 Grecos), it is worth visiting.

Sitges is a gem of a seaside town outside of Barcelona. The highlight of the old town is certainly this museum. There are beautiful works of art in various mediums, all from Catalan artists, and the collections of Roman Glass and various artifacts from Ibiza Archeological expeditions by the owner/artist himself are really excellent. The visit took me two hours and worth every minute.

Lifelong passions of collectors populate multitudes of museums, and it’s certainly the case in this outstanding House Museum.
Art works by Picasso and El Greco, wrought iron works and delightful glass objects are great to see.
Throughout the grand house an eclectic collection ranging from ceramics to keys and much more is to be enjoyed.
All testament to the vision and passion of the artist and writer Santiago Rusiñol.

An interesting museum and gallery but no guide! We were told the printed guides had been withdrawn due to Covid. So why isn't it available online, as a PDF?
We were instead directed to a virtual guide on a website which only covered a few items and is NOT user-friendly. For our friends without smartphones it was useless.
Do not visit until the museum has sorted this out.

The Museu del Cau Ferrat was the workshop and residence of the modernist artist Santiago Rusiñol. Charles Deering and Miquel Utrillo created the Maricel complex, which can also be visited.
We hope you will visit us again soon and continue to enjoy our museums.

Interesting but quirky collection of glassware, tiles and artwork. Well worth a visit. Unusual to find a museum of this quality in a seaside town. Sitges is amazing and this museum reflects that.

The house-workshop of Santiago Rusiñol reflects a unique moment in the history of art, the creation of the modernist movement, which claimed the value of arts and crafts.
We hope you will visit us again soon and continue to enjoy our collections.

As part of the cultural events for the summer certain events were held in this unique venue. Surrounded by iron work and tiling with exquisite detail telling stories of the past of Spain and Catalunya we listened to excepts from various operas while sipping cava. You could be forgiven for missing out on some of the explanations (all in Spanish), but you could still feast your eyes on your surroundings amid this delightful variety of artworks collected over the years. If you are in Sitges don't miss the opportunity to combined art and opera! Take note how ever both Cau Ferrat and the Palau Maricel can be stuffy and warm...they were renovated before airconditioning. So be Spanish: bring your fan!

Xin chào, tôi và gia đình đến Sitges từ Pháp để tắm biển và hưởng làn gió mát ẩm ướt của biển, biển và phong cảnh rất đẹp, nhưng thật tuyệt vời nơi đây còn có 2 viện bảo tàng Cau Ferrat và Palau Marycel đã gây cảm xúc sâu sắc cho tôi, c'est magnifique!
Written 18 August 2019
No, you don't. But do call ahead to be sure of the schedule as the museum sometimes has limited hours. If you want to visit the Palau Maricel, on the other hand, you'll probably need to book that in advance (and it's well worth it!) Enjoy Sitges!
