NOTICE: The Salvador Cabinet will remain closed to public on March 16th and 17th. Sorry for the inconveniences.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Salvador Collection<\/strong>\u00a0is the core of the Salvador Cabinet<\/strong>,\u00a0which is conserved in the building of the Institut Bot\u00e0nic de Barcelona<\/a>, on Montju\u00efc.\u00a0 It was acquired by Barcelona City Council and handed in to the Institut Bot\u00e0nic de Barcelona -part of it in 1945 and another part in 2013. The contents of the cabinet has reached us in very complete form, thanks to the efforts of generations of the Salvador family, generations of botanists of the Institut Bot\u00e0nic de Barcelona and authorities of Barcelona City Council in different times. All of them have made it possible for this unique cabinet of curiosities to be conserved today.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Salvadors were a dynasty of apothecaries and naturalists from Barcelona, who, from the early 17th century to the middle of the 19th century, collected a library and some very important scientific collections. They opened up this patrimony to studious people from at least the middle of the 18th century. This was the first \u201cmuseum\u201d open to the public in Barcelona. The old wooden polychrome furniture has been conserved in good condition, together with a collection of books and documents and a natural science collection.<\/span><\/p>\n
