📖 The music that explains how we lived

Music moves us, keeps us company, and helps us make sense of the world, serving as a remarkable gateway to the past. This thematic tour explores Catalonia's history through the tunes and sounds that defined every era.

The route travels from Greco-Roman antiquity and medieval monastic chants to havaneres, workers' choirs, musical modernism, and the Nova Cançó movement. Visitors discover how music mirrored spiritual beliefs, daily lifestyles, social tensions, and collective aspirations over time.
