Museu Arxiu municipal de Calella Josep M Codina i Bagué

The collections of the Archive-Museum Of Calella are closely related to the history of the town and its territory. In terms of typology, we can talk about a wide variety of collections: minerals, fossils, archaeological materials, popular pottery, tiles, textile machinery, traditional craft tools, garments, embroidery ... in addition to the Barri Pharmacy.

On the ground floor, Iberian and Roman remains are on exhibit, as well as a collection of coins. Other collections include mineralogy, paleontology, malacology and marine fauna. A small adjoining room displays commonly used tiles that once decorated old houses in Calella, water troughs, oil mills, the pedestal of the baptismal font from the parish church and the tombstone of the nobleman Miquel Joan Roger. The next ground floor rooms display a collection of textile machinery and silk and cotton stockings, all from different textile mills that existed in Calella. The space is complemented with a room dedicated to remembering traditional crafts and the trade contacts between Calella and overseas colonies.

The first floor of the museum is used for temporary exhibitions and also to show part of the collection of pictorial works by Calella artist Lluís Gallart i Garcia.

The second floor houses the old Barri Pharmacy of Calella, from the Modernist period. On display are collections of glass jars, apothecary jars of different periods and styles, precision scales, hydrometers, mortars and containers for pills. The back room holds an antique apothecary cabinet full of tinctures and another containing ceramic jars, flasks and glass tubes. On the same floor we find a reproduction of an antique kitchen showing a collection of household utensils. The final room on this floor is devoted to a sample of the museum's textile collection with garments, clothing and embroidery on display as well as different types of lace work made by local lace makers. The contents of the room come from donations made by families from Calella.
