| Frederic Marès was a collector and a sculptor. He collected everything.. |
 |
| He collected 250 of these small statues, offerings to an Iberian god. They were amazing, and all were different. The tallest was 10 cm. |
 |
| The Roman collection... |
 |
| Romanesque and Gothic art... |
 |
| I took photos of a fraction of the collection. |
 |
| After seeing so many, you start to look at the differences and for the strange. |
 |
| A collection of the crucified Christ, and there were at least 20 of them. |
 |
| A collection of crosses... |
 |
| From inside of a house. |
 |
| Works down stairs, from the 4th-16 Centuries. |
 |
| I've seen the mans head before in France, and so you can tell there was lots of sharing... |
 |
| I love capitals that have interesting designs... |
 |
| This is the start of the late Gothic and Baroque (just look for some gold). |
 |
| Madonna and child, becomes a trio, with Maryanne, the mother of Mary. |
 |
| I was really starting to get really tired, and there was 2 more floors to go! |
 |
| He collected everything you can think of, fans, pipes, watches, jewellery, photographs, toys, keys, pharmacy bottles,.... etc. I took photos of hardly anything (I was tired of looking!). When you see how much he actually collected, it's amazing! |
 |
| This was his private library and his own sculptures. |
 |
| Walking sticks... |
 |
| Pharmacy bottles... |
 |
| A whole room full of fans. |
 |
| He had a collection of weapons and helmets. |
