Museu Terra

The Tierra Museum (known as the Museum of Rural Life until 2024) is one of the most important museums in the country and has become a cultural center of reference for all audiences.

Based in L'Espluga de Francolí ( Conca de Barberà ) but with an exhibition hall also in Barcelona, the Tierra Museum connects you with the rural world as a prism from which to imagine more sustainable futures.

A facility spanning over 5,500 square meters, run by the Carulla Foundation, invites reflection through its permanent exhibition, an ethnobotanical garden with more than 200 plants, temporary exhibitions, cultural events, educational programs, and family activities. A visit will prompt you to consider water management, food sovereignty, alternative energies, caregiving, and the climate crisis.

Discover the Tierra Museum in Espluga de Francolí and immerse yourself in the customs, perspectives, and practices of the rural world, both past and present. This experience will equip you with the tools to care for the land that feeds and sustains us.

The Museum is located just over an hour from Barcelona, half an hour from the beaches of the Costa Daurada, and about thirty minutes from the high-speed train stations of Lleida and Tarragona. It is surrounded by natural and cultural attractions such as the Poblet Monastery, the prehistoric caves of Espluga de Francolí, the medieval town of Montblanc, and wineries where you can taste the best wines of the region. For this reason, the Museu Terra is the ideal way to connect with the knowledge accumulated over centuries of living in harmony with the land.

Take a deep breath and visit the Earth Museum. A getaway to the rural world that will help you face future challenges and build a more sustainable life!
