In addition, various facilities will be offering programmed activities which include guided and theatrical tours, workshops, clue trails and escape activities, competitions, concerts, poetry, dance and theatre shows.

Over 120 exhibitions and 60 programmed activities

Visitors will be able to choose from experiences offering new perspectives of classics, such as the ‘Picasso Blue Project’ at the Museu Picasso, ‘An LGBTI+ look at Planet Life’ at the Museu de Ciències Naturals in the Parc del Fòrum, and the retrospectives of ‘Marguerite Duras’ at La Virreina.

There are also guided tours, some of them theatrical, such as those at the Museu Marítim; theatre activities, for instance at the Museu d’Història de la Immigració, and dance, at the Museu de l’Institut del Teatre. The Barcelona Archaeology Service will also be promoting specific routes for this edition which are not available the rest of the year, one of many other activities being offered.
