Lonely Planet review for Museu d’Història de Catalunya

This museum, in the Palau de Mar building (former warehouses) facing the harbour, incorporates lots of audiovisuals and interactive information points in a series of colourful displays recounting Catalonia’s tumultuous past from prehistory to the 1980s. All sorts of scenes are re-created, from a Pyrenean cave dwelling through to a Roman house and a Spanish Civil War air-raid shelter. It’s a little cheesy and short on real artefacts, but engaging enough. Admission is free on the first Sunday of the month.
