The renovation, which involved an investment of 430,000 euros, included the restoration of the historic building's facade and the reformulation of halls dedicated to traditional crafts and the daily life of Montseny society.
The launch of these updated spaces was marked this Wednesday midday by an institutional visit attended by representatives from the Catalan Agency for Cultural Heritage, the Girona Provincial Council, the Regional Council of Culture, and the Arbúcies City Council, led by the museum's director, Jordi Tura.
The new museographic approach, presented by municipal architect David Calvo and museum director Jordi Tura, aims to connect crafts, territory, social organization, and communities' relationship with their environment, offering a more accessible and contemporary visitor experience.
The project also encompassed improvements to display cases, graphics, lighting, climate control, and preventive conservation, strengthening La Gabella's museum project in its symbolic year.
“"The renovation of the halls represents a step forward for the Montseny Ethnological Museum and for the culture of Arbúcies, allowing us to continue growing an institution that is part of the municipality's identity and projects the heritage of Montseny beyond our territory."
“"This initiative is the result of years of work and reflection on how best to explain the collections and the territory, incorporating new ways of viewing and interpreting heritage."
