Facts and practical information

Sala Muncunill is an exhibition hall in Tarrasa, Spain, located at Plaça de Didó núm. 3, corner Carrer de la Rasa. It is the dyeing room of the old Vapor Amat, also known as Ca l'Izard, a 1921 construction by the modernist architect Lluís Muncunill i Parellada, after whom the new exhibition space inaugurated by the City Council in 1982 was named.

The steamboat, mainly used for finishing dyes in the textile sector, was promoted by Josep Amat, also a shareholder of the Aymerich, Amat and Jover factory, also a work by Muncunill dating from 1907. After the Civil War, in 1940, it was remodelled by Joan Baca i Reixach, who mainly reformed the ventilation skylights. The last reform was in 1982, by Francesc Bacardit i Segués, who renovated the building to convert it into a municipal exhibition hall, attached to the new Town Hall in Plaça Didó.
