Museo Rat Penat de Mascanada: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Interesting museum of glass, concrete, and iron both outside and inside. The owner also showed us his workshop, where he mainly works at night.
Fantastic experience:
An unforgettable place to visit as long as Ratpenat is there. The artist creator of the museum environment.

Everything very nice and well explained by Josep
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience: A uniquely inspiring place, landing somewhere between an art gallery and installation piece in its own right. I would recommend it to anyone, especially on a sunny day! Some things to note: the artist who lives here speaks Spanish and French (possibly other languages but not English), nevertheless he was very generous with his time in showing us around the house and his workshop. The museum of miniature artworks and other objects will only be open with prior appointment for groups of at least 10. The house is still worth visiting for its astonishing beauty and charm. Final note - bring insect repellent!!
Fantastic experience:
Magical and recommended place

Fantastic experience:
Museum of curiosities, antiques, and a lot, a lot of imagination. Incredible the exterior decoration, especially at dusk, when the sun sets and the colored glass shines like diamonds. They give a touch of mystery while also embellishing the construction and valuing it. You can't miss this visit.

Fantastic experience:
A museum as it should be, it's not a tourist attraction, impressive, run by the artist owner Mr. Ratpenat. You can't miss it, you'll spend one of the best times. Totally original, Km 0.

Fantastic experience:
I discovered this museum through a colleague from Sant Feliu and I have to say that we were greatly surprised, as it represents love, passion, culture, dedication, enthusiasm, know-how, and many adjectives of Josep, the owner and author of all the artistic representations, sculptures, vaxeills, etc. Thank you very much Josep for your knowledge and kindness, you have left us speechless with your explanations. A big hug.

Fantastic experience:
A fantasy of a place, everything very curious, artisanal, divine... With a lot of magic. You enter and it's another world. It's a pity that the city council doesn't want to help so that it can be visited more often, that they don't consider opening it and helping it continue to showcase the wonders that man creates with his own hands.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Charming place for all audiences, but to see it inside, you need guided and scheduled tours.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience: The indoor exhibition space was closed, but there is plenty to see outside. The artist also gave us a tour of his studio.

A must discover!

Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
So many years for St Feliu and it has never been advertised, which says a lot about St Feliu. There is so much to learn and above all, there is great creativity from Rat penat, a great effort and years of work that should be visited by schools because there is so much to see and learn. If a trip is organized again, I will return.

Magnificent museum, a magical place built by the rat penat, in its small valley. From giant flowers made of colorful glass and concrete, to perfect miniatures of fishing boats, great wooden works like its collection of spinning tops, recycled toys, the old kitchen, everything in general leaves you in awe while playing to discover the riddles and games of the rat penat. Highly recommended.
