Art and gastronomy meet in Barcelona in order to finish the week in the best possible way. Exploring and enjoying!
Art night
Between May Saturday 16 and Sunday 17, Barcelona´s museums and its metropolitan area are on their best.
Saturday night is also part of ‘Museums night‘, an open-door event, to which more than 80 centres of Barcelona and other municipalities (L’Hospitalet, Badalona, Sant Adriá, Santa Coloma de Gramenet y Cornellá) are joining.
Well-known “Museums Night” is a European initiative that commemorates its 11th edition with more than 4000 museums from 40 different countries. All of them will be open at Saturday night, on the eve of a very special day.
That´s because on Sunday the International Museums Day is celebrated, a festival in which a lot of centres will be also open.
Artists and poets in Barcelona
Celebrating art may be special if it´s done together with its main creators. Artists and poets will join to this weekend aimed at seeing and feeling.
