Open Day for la Mercè
The event will take place in various museums and cultural facilities in the city, following current health protocols.
The health situation has caused changes in the celebration of the 2020 la Mercè festivities, which has been preferred to separate from the concept of major festival to reinforce its collective value. The party is decentralized and has committed to proximity sceneries, making the festivity’s protagonists both the citizens and their cultural network.
Among the activities scheduled, the Open Day will be celebrated once again, with free admission to the museums: the majority of the places will celebrate them on September 24, but some of them are doing it from the 15th to the 27th. You can enter museums such as the Palau Robert, the Caixaforum, the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion, the Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món, the Museu del Disseny, El Born Centre de Cultura i Memòria, the Royal Monastery of Santa María de Pedralbes, the Museu Marítim, the Museu d'Art Contemporani, the Jardí Botànic de Barcelona, La Capella or the Arts Santa Mónica. Centre de la Creativitat. Fabra i Coats. Centre d'Art Contemporani started Open Day on Tuesday 15 and will keep doing it during the week, while Sagrada Família will do it on the 18th and the 19th. In addition, other spaces such as the Casa Vicens will offer ticket discounts and in some of the museums there will be guided visits and other activities for the whole family, such as the rhymed itinerary ‘Veig, veig molts capells’ at the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya or a visit with musical accompaniment at the Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona.
