The collection ‘Petit Museu’ forms part of the project, started in autumn 2011, with the title, ‘The Serrallo, a place for stories: the memory of the fishers’. This initiative of the Public Library of Tarragona in collaboration with the Port Museum of Tarragona has the aim of recovering the intangible heritage of the Serrallo, Tarragona’s Port neighbourhood.
