The Tomàs Mallol Cinema-Collection Museum is a permanent, non-profit institution, open to the public as a space for scientific, cultural and recreational participation of citizens, and at the service of society and its development.

Its origin is found in the acquisition of the Tomás Mallol Collection of cinematographic and pre-cinematographic objects by the City of Girona on January 28, 1994.

Its mission is to favour the understanding and knowledge of the history of the moving image and of the cinema through the conservation, investigation, interpretation and exhibition of various collections, whose objects explain how the images were represented before the cinema and what was the technical process that led to the invention of the cinematograph in 1895.
