Vicenç Ros Municipal Museum facts for kids
The Vicenç Ros Municipal Museum is a cool place to visit in Martorell, a town in Baix Llobregat, Spain. It's located inside an old building that used to be a convent for Capuchin monks way back in the 1600s! This museum is also part of a bigger group of museums connected to the Barcelona Provincial Council Local Museum Network.
The museum first opened its doors in 1945. It was made possible because a generous person named Vicenç Ros i Batllevell (who lived from 1883 to 1970) gave his huge collection of ceramics to the town. Over the years, the museum has grown and now has different types of collections. These include ethnology (the study of cultures), art, archaeology (the study of old things), architecture (how buildings are designed), and archives (old documents).
