Esplugues de Llobregat (Spain)
Museu Can Tinturé
The historic building Can Tinturé is set in the historic centre of Esplugues, in a house surrounded by gardens, built in 1898 by the architect Claudi Duran Ventosa, considered one of the pioneers of the reinforced concrete construction system. The house was built as a family residence commissioned by its first owner, John Tinturé Campreciós, who was alderman and mayor of Esplugues between 1910 and 1915. In 2000 – on the occasion of the acquisition of the collection of sample tiles by Salvador Miquel – its suitability as a museum site was decided.
