DESCRIPTION

This museum houses the works of art collected by Antoni Deu, notary public in El Vendrell, who presented them to the town. The legacy is administered by the Fundació Pública Municipal Deu Font and is composed of paintings, drawings, sculpture, pottery, glass and ivory works, oriental carpets and many examples of religious art.

The personal criteria of the notary public makes the legacy particular, as there is no thematic or chronologic unity, it is defined by its diversity.

The religious carvings, present-day sculptures, paintings, drawings, the oriental carpet collection, the mortars, the epoch furniture, modernist glass and contemporary pottery make an ensemble that has been maintained, in spite of the difficulties of the museum installation, so that the visitors can understand the feelings of the collector notary public.
The most attractive area of the Deu Museum is the “carpet hall”, where visitors walk on a glass floor and can admire under their feet the oriental carpet and chamber pot collections.

During the summer-time the Museum’s gardens are used as the location for free concerts.
