The Barcelona Wax Museum occupies an 1873 former bank building on Passatge de la Banca, at the lower end of La Rambla, and opened as a wax museum in 1973. Reopened after a full renovation in December 2020, it shows more than 150 figures of real and fictional people across 28 sets.
The Maritime Museum of Barcelona occupies the Drassanes Reials, the Gothic royal shipyards built between the late 13th and late 14th centuries to build galleys for the kings of Aragon.
