The Museu de l'Empordà is a regional art museum located in the heart of Figueres, dedicated to the artistic heritage of the Empordà area. Housed in a elegant 19th-century building, the museum's collection spans from medieval religious art to contemporary works, with a strong focus on Catalan modernism and the avant-garde. Visitors can see paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Antoni Tàpies, and Modest Cuixart, as well as works by local Empordà painters like Ramon Reig and Josep Maria Sert. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions that highlight regional and international artists.
