Located in Cornellà de Llobregat (Barcelona), the museum occupies an old building designed in 1905 by the modernist architect Josep Amargós i Samaranch to house a pumping station. The museum maintains a representative sample of the steam machine which was originally used to distribute water to the city.
Architecture and machinery from the beginning of the 20th century are integrated in an innovative museography, which describes the history of water supply in a big city.
In 2010, the Museu Agbar de les Aigües won the Micheletti award, one of the most important European museology prizes.
