Tallers Oberts

Tallers Oberts, or ‘Open Studios’ offers the public the rare opportunity to step inside Barcelona’s art studios to meet and interact with the artists at their work. Following on the footsteps of events such as ‘Museum Night’, when galleries and museums across a city are opened to the public for free, ‘Open Studios’ is part of a wider trend to make art accessible to a wider public. Barcelona is a city with a long and distinct history of artists and crafts people working from small ...

Babies at CCCB

CCCB is Barcelona’s main contemporary art gallery. Under usual circumstances, you might think that there would not be much here for small children, and you’d probably be right. Enter stage ‘Babies at CCCB’ offering dance, music, puppets and art aimed at children aged five and under. Not only with these spectacular shows keep your young ones thoroughly entertained, but they are also an excellent way to introduce your children to interactive learning, and how to use audio and visual prompts ...

Hidden Art Nouveau treasures in Barcelona

Barcelona is synonymous with art nouveau and Gaudi. The Sagrada Familia is no less than Spain’s most visited monument, which along with the Casa Battlo and the Pedrera make up Barcelona’s holy trinity of Gaudi art nouveau monuments. These are excellent sites and must be visited, but it is also worth exploring some of the lesser-known art nouveau architecture that belongs to the city’s rich architectural heritage. This is heritage that the city is working hard at renovating and opening to ...

The MUHBA Museum in Poble Nou

The old Oliva Artés factory on Pere IV Street in Poble Nou has become a point of interest since its renovation into a new museum-cum-laboratory (MUHBA) with the aim of examining contemporary society as well as reflecting on the neighbourhood’s industrial heritage. At the beginning of the twentieth century the factory was one of the most prolific in the district, producing metalwork, initially in the form of machine parts and later the manufacture of arms during the Civil War. As MUHBA ...

Barcelona Yewellery Week 2014

Barcelona Yewellery Week takes place from today until the 13th of October and during this time will convert Barcelona into the jewellery capital of the world. In case you were wondering, “yewellery” is how Spanish speakers pronounce the English word jewellery; the name is an irreverent one. The event takes place in the Santa Monica Arts Centre and the Royal Shipyards, on Las Ramblas, and will showcase the latest trends in jewellery, with auspicious guest artists in attendance including ...
