Museu de la Tècnica de l'Empordà: Reviews
Fantastic experience:
Unique place, incredible. The most beautiful typewriter museum (among other survivors of technological heritage). A fantastic place, the legacy of a great collector, in love with a technological heritage whose ingenuity and design never ceases to amaze us. The floor dedicated to typewriters is, I believe, the largest museum in the world dedicated to this invention.

An amazing experience! This museum showcases the antiques collected by my grandfather and grandmother, mostly from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was my grandmother who took me to visit, the explanations included demonstrations, very interesting! My grandmother speaks French, but doesn’t speak English. The ticket costs only 3 euros, a great value for money. An especially interesting collection, very eye-opening, highly recommended!

What a wonderful place!! Wooww!! I did not expect to like it so much!! Entrance is only €3!! They should charge much more for such an excellent guided tour you have with the lady, whose name I unfortunately do not know, who provides detailed information and curiosities about each area and artifact, which enriches the visit so much that you can’t help but be amazed at all times. A lot of history and craftsmanship in each machine displayed here. A trip to the past that makes you aware of how everything has changed, how we have evolved by transforming life, and at the same time you feel sad that certain things have been lost, true gems that could not be in a better place. A must-visit if you're in Figueres!!! The couple who run it are lovely, super charming!! Thank you ???????? ????

SPECTACULAR! An entire floor dedicated to a collection of typewriters and mechanical calculators, another for sewing machines and wall clocks, and another for a multitude of other devices. Everything is perfectly arranged with many items that you can touch and use. And the best part is that the owners are there to explain everything and answer whatever is needed. They are incredibly nice. Visiting Figueres is worth it just for this museum.

The admission costs €3 (it's a shame there are no discounts of any kind). The collection is impressive, but the best part is undoubtedly meeting its owners, who explain how they cherished it.

Fantastic experience: We were amazed by the fine condition and the number of the antique machines collected by an amazing old couple. Senora Magrita (don't know if I spell her name correctly) guided us through the whole museum for more than an hour, such a pity that I don’t speak Spanish nor French, but can feel her passion and love towards these collections, besides each collection has a brief intro in multiple languages including English. This museum, the Dali museum, and the toy museum are three places we enjoyed most. Gotta take another visit here if I'm back to Figueres in the future.
Fantastic experience:
The best museum I have ever visited in my life.
Highly highly HIGHLY recommended.
A super complete and varied collection of all kinds of ancient gadgets (typewriters, pencil sharpeners, sewing machines, slot machines, cash registers, etc. etc.). Everything is very well cared for and organized.
What I liked the most were the museum owners: Some wonderfully kind people that I've had the pleasure of meeting. The lady guided us through the entire museum, explaining everything about the collection and answering any other questions we might have. I loved the passion with which she shared the relics that the couple has treasured over time.
I only wish they had a donation box at the counter since the symbolic €3 for the entry seemed too little to me, and I would have liked to leave a little more in return for such a pleasant experience.

What a discovery in the city of Figueres!!! If you have ever dreamed of being transported to times past, this is your museum. There are countless period objects that you would never have guessed what they were for or how to use them, but thanks to Margarita, it has been a real pleasure to discover them. Thank you, Margarita, for your attention and dedication, and to you, Pere, for your kindness, and above all, thank you both for allowing us to know those wonders of the past.

Fantastic experience: We wander randomly here, paid €3, and a friendly host asks which language we speak. We wonder why, until the kind lady brought us on a guided tour through the entire 3-story museum, showcasing what the couple has gathered over the past 45 years. It is a place of love & labor, as it includes Italian Vespas that she & her husband used, along with items that are unique in the world (example: a hemisphere typewriter for the blind). We see antique typewriters, sewing machines, all kinds of machines, many of which are so interesting that you just have to ask what they do & be amazed by the reply. The lady is Magerita & she tries her best to explain in Spanish/Catalan and through hand signs & drawings, we strangely understand what she said. It was a fantastic tour, and it saddens our hearts to see memories of these items disappearing when such collectors are no longer around. This place is the best bang for your buck and is so fun & informative, do not miss it.

Fantastic experience: This was an amazing museum. It does have odd opening times though. Did not open until 4pm for us. It is a low cost museum to visit. There were no other visitors other than us two. We were shown around by the older woman, who could speak French or Spanish, we chose French so we got a gist of what she was saying. The top floor was typewriters, from ones where you select the character and then press the key. There were typewriters from all over the world, Chinese, Japanese, American, French, Spanish and English. Type writers hidden in tables, typewriters designed for the war correspondent. Downstairs there were sewing machines, again hundreds of different models. The final floor was more mixed with lots of items covering life, bicycles, irons, radios, cameras, etc. There were also numerous grandfather clocks, which the guide started for us and made them chime.

very interesting and very well explained, recommended for going with children

Fantastic experience: We went to the grand Fort in this city and had some spare time afterwards. We visited the centre of the place and saw a sign: Museu de la Tècnica de l'Emporda. This sign got our attention since technology is our shared interest. We didn't know what to expect and planned to explore the museum all by ourselves. Then we arrived and were met by a very kind lady, talking only Spanish or French. She took us upstairs and led us around 3 floors of 'old' devices and tools like mechanical typewriters, sewing machines, scales, gramophones, radios, cameras, etc. It became a very special experience for us, only one of us could understand most of what she said, in French, but despite that fact she made her story clear to us with patience and enthusiasm. In the 2 hours that we have been there, we were amazed by the different collection and enjoyed the close contact we had with the proprietor. If you have a chance, visit this place when you are in the city!

Curious and very educational place for both adults and kids, the owners are lovely, the lady gave us a guided tour and honestly... I liked it much more than the Dalí museum. I recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Simply an incredible museum. The collection is like nothing I've ever seen. The woman who runs the museum gives a very informative tour.

Their passion conveys respect (if you behave well).
At a very humble scale, it is an honor that they consider our museum recommendable for visitors to Figueres as a necessary complement to the mandatory visit to the Dali museum, the universal spokesperson for our city.
