Traveler reviews
Alaina Zulli
★★★★★3 months agoThis is a very cool little museum. The person at the desk turned on the motor so you could see all the gears and pulleys at work. They did a very nice job of restoring the machine factory and explaining how everything worked. If you don't speak Spanish or Catalan i recommend using the camera function in Google Translate to be able to read all of the signs, since many do not have English translations. The audio guide was in English also worth listening to.

★★★★★7 months agoReally enjoyed our visit here, for the price this place is well worth a visit. It won't take too long so very good as a smaller activity to fit into your day. It's 4 floors with a lift or stairs, start with the ground floor where you enter, then the mezzanine in that room, then head up to the top floor and work your way back down. There's QR codes starting on the ground floor, I'd 100% recommend listening to these as they give addition information, well worth it. Also great staff
