The Abelló Museum is an art museum located in Mollet del Vallès, Spain. It opened its doors on March 29, 1999. The museum's main collection comes from the artist and collector Joan Abelló. He generously donated his art collection to the city in 1996. This donation led to the creation of the Joan Abelló Foundation. The museum building itself is quite special. It is an Art Nouveau-style building from 1908. Only its beautiful front (façade) has been preserved.
