The renovation has transformed the space into a brighter and more open environment, featuring a modern counter with a QR code. At the entrance, the original wooden sculpture popularly known as “el jueu del Raval” presides, a copy of which is located at the corner of Raval de Santa Anna and Carrer d’en Vilar.
One of the main novelties is the focus on audiovisual resources, including interactive displays and videos featuring idealized conversations of historical figures. The allegorical façade of the Reus City Council, prior to the reform by Pere Caselles, which illustrates the economic importance of the city, is also maintained.
A room that can be interpreted in many ways, introducing the visitor to the Carlist Wars, the Reus-Salou canal, and the figure of General Prim.
The halls address key themes such as the origins of popular festivals (featuring the original giants, nanos, and mulassa) and the history of Reus between the 18th and 20th centuries. These spaces cover thematic axes such as the Carlist Wars, city projects like the Reus-Salou canal, and the figure of General Prim.
The art gallery exhibits works by illustrious residents of Reus or artists linked to the capital of Baix Camp, including pieces by Marià Fortuny, Joaquim Mir, Joan Rebull, and Modest Gené. Notably, designs and drawings by the architect Antoni Gaudí have been included, coinciding with the celebration of the centenary of his death, commemorated in June 1926.
