The Great Museum of Magic «La Casa Mágica» (Santa Cristina d'Aro)
The Great Museum of Magic "La Casa Mágica" invites you to delve into the world of illusion through a collection full of curious objects. The museum occupies a Catalan house dating back to 1850, complete with a chapel, which houses the pieces collected by the international illusionist Xevi throughout his artistic career.
In the exhibition, you'll find automata, posters, and magic props from different eras, along with paintings, playing cards, tarot decks, books, and photographs. This variety allows you to approach the world of magic from diverse perspectives: the props, images, books, and cards are all part of the experience. You can spend some time observing the details of the pieces that most catch your eye.
Behind this collection is the illusionist Xevi, with over sixty years of experience and performances around the world that have captivated thousands of spectators. The collection has been assembled throughout his long career. Understanding this connection between the museum and its founder provides a starting point for discovering La Casa Mágica (The Magic House).
The Tourism and Culture Department organizes sessions to discover the curiosities of the Great Museum of Magic – Xevi Collection. This family activity, led by the illusionist himself, offers a chance to share in the museum's exploration and learn about its contents from the man who assembled the collection.
