Fantastic experience:
While walking through the town, we passed by this 19th-century mansion, and we were invited to enter and visit it (we brought a small dog, and they let us in with it). This building, besides the property, had an exhibition of movable goods, it was a great decision to go in, as we saw two exhibitions. Upon leaving, we thanked the person who invited us in and allowed us to bring our pet in our arms. We took photos during the visit.
Translated from Spanish

The current ceramics exhibition is simply of extraordinary quality, scope, and presentation. Moreover, the building where the Foundation is located is, in itself, more than enough reason to make the visit.

Fantastic experience:
Very good preservation of the colonial house. Very good illustrations.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
It is a beautiful corner of culture and good taste originated at the foot of Montgrí but of international interest. It is a small palace generously open to the public, with part of its furniture, paintings, and different types of ceramics from the private collection. It also features many temporary exhibitions focused on natural sciences and scientific illustration originating from the encyclopedic spirit of the 19th century. We will see beautiful plates on fauna and ornithology, all hinting at the personal interest of the owners and currently co-founders of the editorial Lynx, specialized in nature.
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
The Lynx Edicions collection on all the birds and mammals of the world is well worth it. The watercolors by Chris Rose are spectacular.
Translated from Catalan

Very good!
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience: What a nice surprise! It made my day!!!
Positive experience:
It is a foundation that initially presents the building and its rooms as the first attraction. They have non-permanent exhibitions that will appeal more or less to the visitor... depending on their tastes. I was able to see a large collection of bird plates from all over the world. The person who greets you at the entrance is fully committed to their role, with great connection skills. And it is a free visit!!

A unique experience. A trip to the past. A beautiful colonial house (we have been told it dates back to 1875) very well restored. Currently, the collection of photographs 'Private Lives. Shared Histories. The photographic collection of the Mascort family, 1860 – 1960' is on display. A marvel for lovers of photography and history. Thanks to the Mascort Foundation for sharing their collection and for opening such a beautiful house to the public.
Translated from Catalan
Positive experience:
Personally, I enjoyed the photographic exhibition that is set up. The visit to the house and the family elements that are displayed are interesting enough to visit the house. The tour of all the rooms, at a leisurely pace, takes less than 45 minutes, so it is easy to visit.
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
Really extraordinary, exquisite attention from its employees, building suitable for the frequent exhibitions, it is worth attending both with friends and families, you can delight in observation and learn from the many works presented, definitely worth a few visits, both for scholars or simply the curious, my sincerest congratulations to Mr. Mascort's Foundation.
