Description
The History Museum of Catalonia is an ideal place to get submerged in original culture of Catalonia. There are interactive exhibits, painstaking illustrations, and meticulously accurate models recording the history of Catalonia.
Film showings and insightful interaction exhibit the rich past of Catalonia. Traveling through time on a medieval horse, thoroughly understanding the dictatorship of Franco, and discovering prehistoric influences on the land make it an excellent place for parents with children. For families, exhibits of child-appropriate interaction, fun, and history can be visited. Families visiting should learn, discover and enjoy at the same time.
Artefacts of the museum range from the earliest 17,000 years ago when the first people walked into Catalonia to much more recent and more painful pieces of history, particularly concerning the independence struggle and cultural revival. Primarily focused on the Middle Ages when Catalonia was one of the most significant centres of trade and culture around the Mediterranean.
This is just as interesting for the modern age in which the region is developing, and these features are further dealt within certain expositions on science and cultural advances, providing the visitors the opportunity to access works by renowned artists, writers and scientists who had done great efforts for Catalonia's further development.
Make a point of going up to the bar on the rooftop and sip chilled cocktails with a view of the marina, cityscape, and Montjuic hill after your visit. It is a testament to the timeless beauty and cosmopolitan nature of Catalonia.
