The Pau Casals Museum is located in the summer house Pau Casals owned on the beach of Sant Salvador in the town of El Vendrell.
The museum is dedicated to the greatest cellist of all time, Pau Casals (1876-1973). It is in the summer house in Sant Salvador, El Vendrell, where the musician lived until 1939, when he was forced into exile by the Spanish Civil War. The present-day museum was opened in 2001 and shows the splendour of the house and Pau Casals’ life as a person, a musician and an advocate of peace.
A modern museographic presentation respects the original rooms of the house while showing the figure and the work of Pau Casals in an innovative, up-to-date fashion. The music, audiovisuals and original objects give visitors an emotive view of the musician’s life and thoughts, from his childhood to his maturity as a man of peace.
In this app you’ll find a small selection of the different areas you can see in the museum.
