Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Visit to the nativity scenes.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Museum about the art of the area and its evolution. By chance, we went on a day that was free, but it wasn't expensive, and it's worth it. At the entrance, there were lockers if you want to leave your things. There was also elevator access. The tour was very well explained and accompanied by children's interaction areas, so it's for all audiences. Besides the museum, the building is also worth it.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Garrotxa painting and sculpture
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: A well-organized, varied museum, accessible to everyone. We spent 1 hour and 30 minutes there. However, it would benefit from an audio guide in different languages. Everything is written only in Catalan, and one needs to consult a translation booklet.
Translated from French

Positive experience: Very interesting to discover the Grand School of Olot
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: It's fine, a little small, though.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A very pleasant place if you like paintings, sculptures, and all kinds of art, it's an ideal place to visit.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Really cool museum suitable for all audiences. There is a lack of women's presence in general in what is exhibited, but aside from that, it is a very beautiful museum with a lot of history of art from Garrotxa and Catalonia in general. Great works and very well maintained.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A 10 is very good
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: It's a museum that can go unnoticed, but it should be taken into account, as it is where great painters and sculptors are born.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Well structured and quite complete
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: Interesting! The permanent exhibition mixes landscapes with sculptures, but I liked the temporary photography exhibitions on the ground floor and the 2nd floor more, as well as the exhibition against recent police repression. In the permanent exhibition, there are activities for children and a bench from time to time.
Translated from Catalan

Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Fantastic museum. With a lot of history and high-quality content. Highly recommended.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: The Garrotxa museum is representative of Garrotxa culture. There are paintings and sculptures. However, the most exclusive and representative piece is 'La càrrega', a gigantic painting by the painter Ramon Casas, who even dedicated himself to painting for the bourgeoisie.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Taking advantage of the fact that we have been in Olot, walking from the museum of Saints, and less than 5 minutes away, you will find this museum. However, as of today, mid-April, they are updating the elevator, so to access it, you have to climb stairs. You will find it on the third floor. It is very interesting, sculptures, paintings, and some knick-knacks. Everything is very well explained.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Amazing museum for its history, the quality of the works presented. A journey back in time professionally orchestrated, very educational yet very clear and very pleasant to experience. The entrance fee is more than reasonable, so if you pass by OLOT, don't miss it!

Positive experience: The museum is located in a unique building. This already gives it character. We visited the exhibition that reviews the artistic production of the area through the work of prominent figures of the Olot School. It is an interesting chronological itinerary based on varied pieces. It deserves special attention and aside from the itinerary, La Càrrega, by Casas. The temporary exhibition was a showcase of the work of Anna Manel-la. Exquisite!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Excellent cultural proposal in #Olot. The permanent exhibition showcases the outstanding work of the artists from the Landscape School of the city. The works of Joaquim and Marià Vayreda and Josep Berga Boix stand out. Entering the La Caritat building and learning about its history is fascinating. The structure is very well preserved and quite ventilated. At the time I went (April 2021), entry was free due to the Municipality's decision because of the state of emergency due to the pandemic. In front is the Botiga Indumentaria that you should not miss.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A great exhibition by Dolors Rusinyol, it's worth going.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Very good. The renovation is phenomenal
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Very good museum. A gem for such a small city. The painting 'The Charge' by Ramón Casas is the gem of the museum.

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is a small museum but very rich for understanding the artistic development in Olot.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Exclusive collection of works by Miquel Blai. I especially loved the dressed version of the First Cold. I was surprised by the work The Crickets titled that way when it is the woman who clings to the man's legs; in contrast, in the work Pursuing the Illusion also by Blai at the MNAC it is titled that way when it is the man who clings to the woman's legs (which in this case symbolizes inspiration and in the other the determination constrained by ...)
Translated from Catalan

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Much to see, very interesting to know the history and passion of Olot for art!!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Interesting walk through the history of Joaquim Vayreda and the landscapes of the Olot school. The best piece of the museum, however, is the enormous painting 'the charge' by Ramon Casas, exiled to Olot to hide the cruel image of the Civil Guard charging with sword in hand against the Catalan workers rising up in defense of their rights.

Positive experience: IT IS SUPER INTERESTING. IT SHOWS THE VOLCANOES WE HAVE MANY OF AND FAMOUS ANCIENT PAINTERS. IT'S WORTH IT AND LOCATED IN THE NEW PARK WHICH IS A WONDERFUL PLACE
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Truly impressive in every way. Located on the second floor of the Hospici de Olot (a building that is already beautiful in itself), the collection is very diverse and interesting (highlighting 3 authors: Blay, Vayreda, and Casas). The narrative that follows the museum's tour is well-crafted, connecting it with the history of Olot and the region. It is also worth noting the modernity and equipment of the exhibition halls, typical of major European cities. Finally, I would highlight that the work 'La càrrega' by Ramón Casas is exhibited here. Free for students.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A museum worth visiting if you happen to be in Olot. Besides learning a lot about the region and its history, it has a good collection of paintings and sculptures from the Olot school, as well as the impressive 'The Charge' by Ramón Casas.
