Science, technology and crafts

A look at the museums that show other sciences, crafts and trades, beyond agriculture and wine making

Agriculture, viticulture and wine making are the main trades that are undeniably related to our region. However, you will be surprised by the close relationship we have with othertypes of crafts and industries, such as the long fishing tradition by the sea, or the production of paper, which is still visible on the banks of the Bitlles and Anoia rivers with its paper mills.

There are museums and excellent venues for the whole family, which guard and promote other sciences, technologies and crafts, which allow us to explore a whole world beyond wines, and transmit the effort and experience of old generations to the ones to come.
