The Cork Museum

Two of them are heritage buildings (recognized as Bé Cultural d'Interès Local - BCIL, that means a cultural heritage of local interest): the industrial buildings and Cal Ganxó.

In 1972, archaeologist Miquel Oliva and local researchers Joan Badia and Albert Recasens founded the Palafrugell Museum.

At the beginning of the 1980s, the museum was divided to create the current Palafrugell archive, including a new monographic specialization on the cork industry.

The Cork Museum offers guided tours, educational activities and visits to both facilities.
