<p>La casa del pintor</p>

Joan Abelló i Prat (1922-2008), el pintor de Mollet del Vallès, va ser un col·leccionista apassionat. Al llarg de la seva vida va aplegar milers de peces, obres d’art i objectes de tota mena que encabia a la casa on va néixer i que, amb els anys, va haver d’ampliar annexant-hi les cases veïnes. Aquest museu és la Casa del Pintor Abelló, una joia per descobrir.
