Fundació Mascort

A changing window into Empordà history and art

At Casa Galibern in Torroella de Montgrí, the Fundació Mascort turns a private heritage collection into a public program of temporary exhibitions. Its subjects move across Catalan history and visual culture, from coinage and historical documents to regional artists and devotional ceramics, so the experience changes with each show rather than following one permanent gallery route.

The foundation’s work includes preserving and sharing the Fons Mascort, organizing cultural activities, and publishing research and exhibition materials. That focus gives the visit a local texture: objects and images are used to trace how the Empordà and Catalonia have been shaped by trade, belief, craftsmanship, and changing artistic styles. Check the current exhibition before you go, since the display is the heart of the visit.
