The Museum of the Empordà is an art museum in Figueres, Catalonia. Its history dates back to 1885, when the first collections arrived from the Prado Museum, bringing together a collection of artworks from the Catalan art scene and the Empordà in particular. The collection includes archaeological works, medieval art and Baroque paintings. Built in 1946, the building was opened in 1971.
