Can Papiol Romanticism Museum

The Can Papiol Romanticism Museum (Catalan: Museu Romàntic Can Papiol) is a museum located in the historic centre of Vilanova i la Geltrú in Catalonia, Spain.

It is a manor house dating from the end of the 18th century and is characteristic both for the furniture and decorative elements preserved from the time.

Its aim is to evoke 19th-century society by analysing the everyday life of a well-to-do family of the time.

In 1959, a descendant of the Papiol family sold the house and all its furniture to Barcelona Provincial Council, to turn it into a museum.

It is Neoclassical in style with decorative elements (ashlars, columns, tympanums) painted on the walls; inside, the walls of the main room are decorated with biblical themed grisailles.
