Each year, temporary exhibitions transform the visit into a new and surprising experience. In addition, advanced interactive tools, such as digital screens and audio guides, bring art to life in a close and exciting way.

Located in the emblematic Hostal Valira, a historic building with typical Andorran granite architecture, the museum is much more than an exhibition space: it is a place where tradition, culture and creativity complement each other to offer you an unforgettable experience.

National Automobile Museum

In the picturesque village of Encamp, the National Automobile Museum stands as a tribute to the evolution of mobility. This unique space brings together nearly eighty historic vehicles, showing how advances in automotive technology have transformed transport to overcome speed limits and adapt to the needs of each era.

The museum also stands out for its collection of more than a hundred antique bicycles, which illustrate the development of this means of transport. From its beginnings as a rudimentary and dangerous device to becoming an elegant and functional machine, the bicycles on display are a testament to technical progress over time.

Much of the museum's collection comes from private collections, making it one of the most important in Europe for classic cars and a world reference for bicycles. This museum in Andorra is ideal for those who want to explore the history of vehicles and their impact on society.

Reig Factory Museum

The multimedia tour showed the manufacturing processes, from the manipulation of the leaves to the marketing, in an environment recreated with unique tools, machines and aromas. Although its physical space closed in 2022, this virtual museum keeps alive the essence of an activity that marked Andorra's past.

Casa Areny-Plandolit Museum

Casa Areny-Plandolit Museum is one of the most emblematic museums in Andorra, a historical gem that reflects the life of the aristocracy in the Principality. This 18th-century manor house, with structures extended in the 19th century during the economic boom of the Areny-Plandolit family, brings us closer to the figure of Don Guillem d'Areny-Plandolit, third baron of Senaller and Gramenet.

Inside, you can discover rooms such as the dining room, the noble hall, the music room, the cellars, the chapel and even defensive elements, which contrast with the reality of rural Andorra at the time. The architectural and decorative richness of the house reflects the power and lifestyle of this influential family.

Inhabited until the 1950s, it was acquired by the Consell General in 1972 and converted into a museum in 1984. It is part of the Rural Habitat Itinerary, an essential route to understand the history and cultural legacy of Andorra.
