Marilyn Monroe Museum
Alleging to be the only museum in Europe dedicated to the USA’s most famous female icon, the Marilyn Monroe Museum is one of Sant Cugat’s quirkier attractions. The museum, housed within a part of the Sant Cugat monastery, contains some of the most famous photos of the star, and some personal objects, including a lock of her hair. What the museum lacks in size it makes up for in effort, and it’s without a doubt one of the more original things to do in Sant Cugat.
