Museum of la Roba Estesa

Monument · Mollerussa, Pla d'Urgell, Lleida

Image of Mollerussa, not of the place itself.

A singular space in Mollerussa (Pla d'Urgell) dedicated to paper clothing and ephemeral garments, one of the most peculiar museums in the comarca. It arose linked to the Concurs Nacional de Vestits de Paper, held annually since the mid-20th century next to the Teatre de l'Amistat; the town council took over its management in 1998 and the current building, at number 90-92 on Carrer Ferrer i Busquets, was inaugurated in 2009. Its permanent collection brings together more than 80 garments and grows every year with the most outstanding creations from each edition of the competition, besides hosting temporary exhibitions by local artists.
