Richard Lindau resided as a diplomat in Japan between 1866 and 1868, where he acquired in Edo (Tokyo) an extensive and exceptional collection of Japanese art. After being named German consul in Barcelona (1876), Lindau offered his collection to the public by opening his residence in the centre of the city as a Japanese Museum. This paper aims to recover the history of this forgotten collection, which constituted one of the first private museums of Japanese art in Southern Europe.
