Girona: Museum of Cinema Entry Ticket

4. Girona: Museum of Cinema Entry Ticket

The Tomàs Mallol Cinema-Collection Museum is a permanent, non-profit institution, open to the public as a space for scientific, cultural and recreational participation of citizens, and at the service of society and its development. Its origin is found in the acquisition of the Tomás Mallol Collection of cinematographic and pre cinematographic objects by the City of Girona on January 28, 1994; and is located in the former headquarters of the city's water company, a building from the late nineteenth century known as "House of Waters." It aims to become a center of revitalization of the world of cinema and visual shows, thanks to a continuous programming of activities and services that allow interaction with the visitor, aimed at a very wide audience, local, national and international. Its mission is to promote the understanding and knowledge of the history of the moving image and of the cinema through the conservation, investigation, interpretation and exhibition of various collections, whose objects explain how the images were represented before the cinema and what was the technical process that led to the invention of the cinematograph in 1895. From June 23 to January 29 discover the temporal exhibition "A different way of seeing Miquel Planchart's stereoscopy", which offers an exercise in visual eclecticism based on a personal interpretation that is also daring in the application of the stereoscopic technique when dealing with photography.

What people are saying about Girona

We were a group of 7. The meeting point was easy to find. Van was comfortable with good air conditioning which felt great on a hot day. Alvar had lots of great history to share. All stops were as advertised. Incredible views of ancient locales. We learned a lot more than if we had. visited on our own. Best surprise was the tasty stop for lunch at a place serving Catalonian food. A bargain for 15 euros! Highly recommend.

This was my favorite tour of a 3 week visit in Spain. Marc and Alex (the driver) are fantastic. They were both very knowledgeable and I felt completely comfortable at all times with Alex driving the van.

Top visit. You learn a lot about Spanish history and architecture. With an attentive and very involved guide. An experience to live without hesitation
