Modernism and flowers. From nature to architecture
From June 27th to August 25th
Open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm from 5 to 8 pm; Sundays from 10 am to 2 pm. August 15th closed
Between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, nature was the great muse and source of inspiration for architects and artists. With this exhibition we want to show how the flora, in particular, became one of the repertoires par excellence of modernist architecture, which came to establish a true dialogue with the world of plants through the decorative arts. Nature, the source of inspiration, is the first of the four areas in which the exhibition is structured. Here we analyzed…

Enric Giralt, reporter of the Transition
From November 21st to February 16th
Open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm from 5 to 8 pm; Sundays from 10 am to 2 pm.

The diamond of Badalona

The Anís del Mono factory is one of the oldest ones that works in Badalona, and its product is one of the best known and appreciated in the world. The famous label that identifies it has the date of 1870 written - although probably production began earlier - and, therefore, 2020 will celebrate the 150th anniversary. For this reason, the Museum presents a small exhibition that highlights the image of Anís del Mono, the first that was packed in a…

Portraits
From May 26th to July 5th
Open from Tuesday to Friday from 5 to 8 pm; Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 2 pm.
The poet Charles Baudelaire said that the portrait was a modest genre, but it required a great deal of intelligence from the creator, because it was not enough to reproduce what he saw, but also to show what was hidden, behind the face of the model. A portrait, then, is the fruit of a silent dialogue between artist and model that goes far beyond physical similarity. It is the result of precise work that conveys the moment and captures the…

Badalona unknown
From June 16th to September 27th
Open from Tuesday to Friday from 10 am to 2 pm and from 5 to 8 pm; Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 2 pm.
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…
