Whats Going on in Barcelona 2 - September, October & January

Here are more reasons to visit Barcelona in upcoming weeks…

PIRATES at Museu Maritim

€6 entry fee. Open daily 10am – 7pm until October 15

On the Avenida Drassanes in Barcelona’s Raval District the Maritime Museum hosts an exhibition exploring the bloodcurdling history of those seafaring scoundrels the Piates. From your Carthaginians of antiquity to your Jack Sparrows in the movies via the Vikings and their longboats, all the available information is plundered.

MARILYN MONROE at Palau Robert

Palau Robert. Passeig de Gracia. Free of charge. 10am – 7pm Mon-Sat. 10am – 2.30pm Sunday until September 3.

The blonde that gentlemen really did prefer, a twentieth century icon. Taken from Maite Minguez Ricart’s collection are childhood and teenage portraits, as well as original items of clothing worn by the star, creating a personal touch.

DIVINE WORDS at Museu Egipci de Barcelona
C/Valencia, Eixample. €8.50 entry fee. Open 10am – 8pm mon-sat, 10am – 2pm sun until January 15.

The origin of the written word is the subject of this show. Hieroglyphics were to the Egyptians what the alphabet is to us today. These ‘divine words’ in their pictogram form were originally deciphered by clever man Jean-Francois Champollion and his process of discovery is here explored with the help of original notebooks.
