Museu de la colònia Vidal de Puig-Reig (Puig-reig)

Web

A journey into the past of the industrial colonies, so characteristic of the industrialisation process in Catalonia.

With the help of a guide, you can relive how people lived and worked in one of the textile colonies that were established on the banks of the Llobregat River during the last third of the 19th century.

During the visit, you will discover a set of spaces that were part of the life and work of its inhabitants: a workers' flat, the school, the library, the cinema, the Caja de Manresa, the fish market, the showers, the laundry, the steam engine and the loom building, where the most significant textile machinery in the cotton transformation process is on display.

The spaces survive, smells, noises and sensations that invite us to put ourselves in the shoes of those who lived through a pivotal moment in history.

The Colonia Vidal Museum also offers bar service.
