It was opened on 10 September 2009 and is part of the Barcelona Provincial Council Local Museum Network and of the Art Nouveau European Route.
The building, work of architect Gaietà Buïgas and Eduard Maria Balcells, dates back to 1894.
[1] In 2003, the building was approved for remodelling with the help of sponsorship from individuals and entities such as the Government of Catalonia, Barcelona Provincial Council, the Barcelona Metropolitan Area Municipal Association, the Banc de Sabadell Foundation, Obra Social Caixa Sabadell and Obra Social Caixa Catalunya.
It comprises the period between 1880 and 1930, a time in which the town was a spot where the Catalan and, in particular, Barcelona, bourgeoisie spent the summer.
The museum collection is made up of material owned by Cerdanyola Town Council and donations from entities and individuals, and includes works by artists such as Ismael Smith, Josep Togores, Josep Llimona and Manolo Hugué.
