Summary

In 2015, the Massó Museum significantly expanded its collection of the history of navigation thanks to the important donation made by the collector Antonio Rama Laguna.
The Massó Museum possesses one of the finest Spanish collections dedicated to the history of European civil navigation, with a section of astronomical navigation instruments of great cultural value, the most important of which date from the 16th century and the early 19th century.
The incorporation of Antonio Rama’s collection allows us to extend the chronological framework to the central decades of the 20th century, a period immediately prior to the advent of GPS. With the satellite navigation system, a millennia-old method of navigation and the instruments it gave rise to will disappear.
This temporary exhibition aims to present to the public the new acquisition that, in the near future, will be incorporated into the permanent collection of the Massó Museum.
