Delving into Catalonia's rich heritage, Barcelona’s intriguing ethnology museum covers origin myths, religious festivals and folklore. There are several gegants (papier-mâché giants) and a dragon and devil costumes used in correfocs (fire runs).
The collection also has instruments and archive images of traditional dances from the Catalan Pyrenees, plus accoutrements of bygone days showcasing the region's blacksmiths, winemakers, weavers, fishers, apothecaries, shepherds, potters, toymakers and even saurí ('diviners'; those tasked with finding water and hidden things).
