Hash and Hemp Museum Barcelona
My rating:
+ This exhibit, hosted in a fantastic, modernist architectural setting, is surprisingly interesting. The history of hemp and hash is explained in great detail.
- The only drawback might be the fact that first-time Barcelona visitors might prefer visiting some of the many other cultural highlights in the city. For repeat visitors to Barcelona, however, this is definitely worth a look

And what's there to see?
When you stand in front of the museum and go inside the entrance hall, you’ll notice the many hemp leaves attached to just about every surface you can find. You’ll assume that this is all about the plant and its – intoxicating – consumption. But once you actually move on to the exhibition area, you’ll stand corrected: this is about much, much more. The plant and its historic uses, everyday applications of hemp, and its cultural image… But of course, smoking is also a topic.

A history of the Hash and Hemp Museum
The museum’s history is mainly formed by Ben Dronkers, who is also known for opening the Hemp Museum in Amsterdam back in 1985. In 2002, he purchased the Palau Mornau in Barcelona, restored the building for 10 years, and, finally, in 2012, he opened the Hemp and Hash Museum of Barcelona!
