This innovatively designed,
interactive museum has a clearly educational vocation. It is housed
in part of the Palau de Mar, the former commercial warehouse building
in Barcelona harbour. The museum was created in 1996 with the aim
of disseminating the history of Catalonia, from its roots to the present
day. The museum layout is structured chronologically in eight areas
set out on different floors, and includes authentic recreations of
historical settings, as well as audiovisuals and computer-generated
exhibits. The bar on the top floor boasts magnificent views of the
old harbour, the Port Veil.
