Barcelona's private cultural foundations have joined together in a new project aimed at making their work more widely known. To this end, they are organising a series of unmissable events as part of the Grec 2016 programme.
The Catalan capital’s summer festival provides an excellent reason to visit these foundations, which are often not as well known as they deserve, to discover the art collections they conserved. And also to enjoy a programme of theatre, dance, magic, music and performances that they have organised at weekends (Friday to Sunday) as part of this year’s Grec Festival.
