NEW MUSEUM
MUSEU DE L'ART PROHIBIT
Museum of Prohibited Art
NEW MUSEUM: Museu de l’Art Prohibit
It’s not an exhibition, but an entirely new museum that opened in October 2023. And it’s all about forbidden art!
Lesser-known artists stand alongside well-known ones such as Banksy, Ai Wei Wei and Gustav Klimt. Picasso and Goya can also be found… What they all have in common is that they have experienced some kind of censorship at some point/somewhere…
And we were already there for you!

Events in June
L’ou com balla – Thursday before Pentecost
The dancing eggs of Barcelona! There are unusual scenes to be seen in Barcelona on Corpus Christi. In the Gothic Quarter you will discover eggs in some fountains. These dance on the water and miraculously don’t fall down! This spectacle is called in Catalan: L’ou com balla. The tradition has existed since 1637 and the fountains are richly decorated with flowers. Back then, real eggs were used, but today they are made of polystyrene or something similar.
When: On Corpus Christi and up to 3 days after
Where: Gothic Quarter around La Seu Cathedral and its cloister, courtyard, Marès Museum, Lieutenant’s Palace (Palau de Lloctinent), Casa de l’Ardiaca, Pedalbres Monastery.
Sant Joan – La revetlla
A festival is dedicated to Saint Juan (Saint John). During this night, one burns contaminated sites and cleanses oneself of illnesses by jumping into the water. At the same time, it is the celebration of the beginning of summer. For this reason, large fires made of old furniture etc. are lit in various places in Barcelona. Children and adults play with firecrackers and fireworks and there is a big party on the beach with music, drinks and water jumps at midnight.
When: June 23, public holiday on June 24
Where: Main celebrations from Barceloneta beach up to Bogatell.
