Museu Egipci
One of Europe's top private collections
Millionaire enthusiast Jordi Clos has accumulated an impressive collection of Egyptian art divided on three floors of an Eixample town house, thematically into ten subjects: the Pharaoh, the gods, the arts and more, with reconstructions of tombs and a choice collection of masks, ceramics, jewellery, statuettes and mummies, including a baby crocodile that looks like a pencil and other swaddled animals, made visible with X-rays.
There are frequent special exhibitions as well; see website.
