What You'll See Inside
The main exhibit at the museum is called Montmeló, camins i anys, which means "Montmeló, pathways and years." This part of the museum shows how the town of Montmeló has changed over many, many years. It also connects Montmeló's story to the wider areas of El Vallès and Catalonia.
You can explore different sections that show items from various time periods. These include things from the Neolithic Age (when people first started farming). You'll also see artifacts from the Iberians and the Romans. Plus, there are items from the Medieval period, or the Middle Ages.
Most of these amazing old items come from a collection that Ignasi Cantarell loaned to the museum in 1998. In the section about the Middle Ages, you can even see special Romanesque murals. These are old wall paintings that are usually kept safe at the local Santa Maria de Montmeló church.
