Especially well the educator who receives you upon entering, very empathetic, conveys enthusiasm and motivation for the little ones. The children have a fun dynamic throughout the exhibition that keeps you attentive and observing. At the end of the visit, they give you a gift for overcoming the challenges and discovering everything indicated.
The dioramas and the explanation of the trades are also noteworthy, helping you understand them very visually, especially the one about forging and blacksmithing. The collection of blunderbusses, shotguns, and pistols is impressive.
Very grateful, we have learned a lot and we have enjoyed.

Fantastic experience:
A special place to learn about the idiosyncrasy of this Province called #Catalunya #ElRipolles. There are objects that have transcended time and which have been kindly donated to this Museum so that they can be appreciated by visitors. On the first floor, they show an audiovisual that explains how the space and collection have been achieved. Then you need to go up to the 2nd floor and start listening to the audios that are on a kind of remote control that they give you at the entrance. Ultimately, it is an excellent opportunity to learn about the memory and life of the #Catalan Pyrenees.
