In 1906 Josep Dalmau founded the Dalmau Galleries. After his death, Francisco and Mariana Draper opened up the Sala Dalmau in 1979 as homage to the old Dalmau Galleries. In the 1900's Joesp Dalmau helped to introduce avant-garde artists to the Barcelona art scene. At the time, Paris was considered the Mecca of the art world; many Spanish artists would travel to the city to exhibit their work. The Dalmau Gallery helped to restore Spanish pride in art by exhibiting the works of Dali', Miró, Delaunay, Braque, Duchamp, Picabia, Leger and Matisse among many others.
Unfortunately the original Gallery is no longer around, but the Sala Dalmau is living up to its name. So far the gallery has won awards for best exhibition and the ACCA (Association of Critics Catalana d'Art)
