Museum founded in 1876 by Francesc Santacana Campmany (1810-1896) in his family home. Christened later as "L'Enrajolada" for the large number of old tiles ("Rajol") it contains. He collected in this house ancient architectural remains, moved by a romantic idealism, which were installed so as to recover their original function. He also collected a set of works by himself and by artists with whom he maintained contact. The layout of the building is closely linked to the last stage of the life of its creator and to the development of the museum project, which was continued by his grandson. It conserves the decoration and antique furnishings, and collections of record plates, clocks, fans, shrines of saints, old photographs, etc.. Three rooms are occupied by ceramics by Louis Faraudo .
