This exhibition includes a set of photographs taken between the last quarter of the 19th century and the last quarter of the 20th: one hundred years of intense changes for Badalona, ​​a town that, during this period, will be transformed into a city and will grow almost without interruption. This change is very well evidenced by the images in the exhibition, where we can see how the city is taking the place of the fields and urban life is displacing…

On the occasion of the bicentenary of the birth of Evarist Arnús i Ferrer (Barcelona 1820-1890), the Museum dedicates an exhibition and a serie of activities to him, since he is a key figure in the history of our country and the our city. His relationship with Badalona began in a very prosaic way: he bought a large estate there - the current Parc de Ca l'Arnús - as a form of investment and to give the image of solvency…

The Museum presents an exhibition dedicated to the great painter Ramon Casas i Carbó (1866-1932), which brings together about twenty pieces donated by different museums and private collectors from different locations. That’s why we gave him the title of Ramon Casas visits Badalona. Quite a luxury. The exhibition is held just at the end of the year commemorating the 150th anniversary of Anís del Mono, the brand that forever links the name of Ramon Casas with our city, as he…

Badalona experienced a great demographic growth between the end of the 19th century and the 1980s. The city was deeply transformed, and the evolution of means of transport really confirms this. You can see it in this exhibition and in the publication of the same title, dedicated to land transport, which goes on wheels. The photographs presented focus mainly on the 1950s and 1960s and have the arrival of the subway in 1985 as their final point. The images show…

On 13th June this year we commemorate the birth centenary of Pere Rovira i Planas (Badalona 1921- Badalona 1978), an exhibition and the publication of a book. A great admirer of Balenciaga, Pere Rovira trained in Paris and, when he returned in 1948, he founded his own haute couture workshop in Barcelona, ​​although he continued to live in Badalona. He soon became the leading seamstress of some families of the Catalan bourgeoisie, and over the years he also had clients…

In 1491, after the death of seven monks from the monastery of Sant Jeroni de la Murtra due to a plague epidemic, the community erected a chapel dedicated to Saint Sebastian, a protector against the plague in particular and the epidemics in general. An altarpiece also dedicated to this saint was commissioned for the same dates. We don't know what the side panels looked like - they most likely burned in the fire that hit the monastery in 1835 -…

Santiago Mateu i Pla (Malgrat de Mar 1891-Badalona 1935) trained as a draftsman at the municipal school of Badalona where he studied and at the academy that the painter Eduard Flò had in the city. Since 1912 he has exhibited in Malgrat, Badalona, ​​Barcelona, ​​Girona, Reus and Figueres. Although he painted some oils, he basically devoted himself to drawing in pen and charcoal, a field in which he received praise from some critics, especially Joan Sacs (pseudonym of Feliu Elias…

The exhibition, developed on the basis of a proposal by the designer Albert Isern, provides a particular view of Badalona and the sea. On one hand, we find an artistic approach, which is expressed through photographic images of the sea and the boats - always painted in very bright colors - and which also incorporates some poems. In the other hand, It also includes an anthropological section, which includes the nicknames of many Badalona fishermen and a marine vocabulary. It…

Clothing in Roman times, as in our society, went beyond the need to cover the body and became an identification of the social status of the wearer, through aspects as diverse as the type of fabric, fiber or color. This code hidden between the folds of the fabric will be discovered in this small exhibition that highlights the small fragments of archaeological objects from the ancient Baetulo that we keep in the Museum. History clippings that, despite their size, provide valuable insights…

The industrial occupation of the Badalona seafront area began in the mid-19th century with the arrival of the railway, and lasted until the end of the 20th century. At this time, a series of changes begin, gradual and profound at the same time, which will end up completely transforming its appearance and use until it became an almost unrecognizable area, very different from the time when the predominant factory buildings, with the smoke from the chimneys and the sound of…

Summer is the time of heat and good weather, of long days, of days of long staying on the street, of holidays for young and old, of verbenas, of major festivals, of playing or doing sports in the outdoors, hiking ... And in a Mediterranean city like Badalona, it is also the best time to enjoy the beach and the sea. All these aspects, along with some particularly relevant historical facts, are included in the exhibition Summers in Badalona, through…
