The Museum of Catalan Modernism is a museum opened in 2010 and dedicated entirely to Catalan modernism. It occupies a thousand square meters divided into two floors of a modernist building by the architect Enric Sagnier in carrer de Balmes 48, Barcelona, between Diputació and Consell de Cent. It shows 350 works, including paintings, sculptures, furniture and stained-glass windows, by 42 artists representative of this artistic movement. Most of the works come from the private collection of the Pinós-Guirao family, and many are unpublished, including pieces by Antoni Gaudí, Joaquim Mir, Hermen Anglada Camarasa, Ramon Casas and Santiago Rusiñol. It is the first museum of Catalan modernism open to the public.

It is a museum with many unpublished works by artists who coexisted with modernism. The promoters of the museum are the couple of collectors and antique dealers Fernando Pinós and María Guirao, from the Gothsland gallery in Barcelona. It is a private initiative that comes from work done for forty years.
