| This large Gothic palazzo in Campo San Beneto, once owned by the Pesaro family, was transformed by Mariano Fortuny into his own atelier of photography, stage-design, textile-design and painting. The building preserves the rooms and structures created by Fortuny, together with tapestries and collections. The environment is represented through precious wall-hangings, paintings, and the famous lamps – all objects that bear witness to the artist’s eclectic work. The Fortuny Museum was donated to the city in 1956 by Henriette, Mariano's widow. The collections within the museum comprise a wide-range of pieces and materials which reflect the various fields investigated in the artist’s work. |
