Barcelona al carrer. Veure i ser vist. La processó de Corpus

Coinciding with this feast, and immersed in the celebrations marking 700 years since the first documented Corpus procession in Barcelona, the Museu Diocesà opens this exhibition curated by Amadeu Carbó and Nil Rider. Through a careful selection of some of the most important works in the Museum's collection, the show brings us closer to this feast, its long history, and the way in which, since the medieval period, its processions – which changed their route on several occasions over 700 years – have called all of Barcelona's society out into the streets to take part in them, always in an orderly manner and in the order of precedence that corresponds to each: from the orbs, contrets and spunyats, to the Consell de Cent, the count and the bishop, each one goes to their place.The exhibition also includes elements of intangible heritage such as the Ou com balla, the presence of festive entremesos such as the gegantons del Pi, a collection of lead figures for playing at the procession, and a polychrome table by an unknown author showing the procession of the year 1793.In the space "La peça convidada" objects or documents will be displayed throughout the year that complement the content of the exhibition, on the Corpus festivities in other places or on singular aspects of this solemnity. The first guest pieces come from the Fons Amades of the Direcció General de Cultura Popular and highlight the literature of canya i cordill.
