The collection of the Musée Hyacinth Rigaud is largely devoted to Catalan painters, most notably Minorcan-born Pierre Daura (1896–1976), a Republican and godson of Pablo Casals long exiled in the US, his sympathies evident in two symbolic canvases of the post-civil-war Republican refugee camps at nearby Argelès. One room has a few Maillol sketches and statues, and three portraits by Picasso.
