The Cau Ferrat Museum in Sitges has highlighted a collection associated with the Catalan artist Santiago Rusiñol in a post marking Archaeology Day. The museum said the collection includes archaeological objects that are predominantly Punic in origin, with many of them coming from the Puig des Molins site in Ibiza.
The announcement was published on 18 August 2026 through the Museus de Sitges account on X. It urged audiences to pause and consider Rusiñol’s collection at the Museu del Cau Ferrat, the museum dedicated to the artist’s former home and holdings in Sitges.
According to the post, the Punic material forms the principal character of the collection, while the reference to Puig des Molins identifies one of its main archaeological sources. The site, on the island of Ibiza, is associated here with the objects collected by Rusiñol and now held at the Cau Ferrat Museum.
The museum’s brief notice did not provide an inventory of individual objects, acquisition dates, or further information about how the pieces are displayed. It also did not announce a temporary exhibition, public programme, or special opening connected with the Archaeology Day feature.
The post presents the collection as part of the broader holdings connected with Santiago Rusiñol at the Cau Ferrat Museum in Sitges. No additional event dates or venue changes were specified in the announcement.
