Barcelona Flashback. La vida a la ciutat a través dels objectes

Barcelona flashback. A historical synthesis is the core exhibition of the network of spaces that make up the MUHBA, located at Casa Padellàs, with a flexible, open and interrogative proposal on the urban narratives of Barcelona interrogative about the urban narratives of Barcelona. It is a synthesis exhibition that shows Barcelona's two-thousand-year trajectory through an interrogative historical reading of documents, objects, architectures and landscapes. It is also an international research project on the minimum kit of knowledge and urban representation needed to exercise the right to the city. The exhibition is based on the MUHBA's collections and is the starting point for the Museum's 55 rooms across its 19 venues distributed throughout Barcelona. You enter through the mirror, as in Alice's dream imagined by Lewis Carroll, and you can leave through the time tunnel. With this exhibition, the MUHBA joins European city museums that are taking on the challenge of offering a quality synthesis and showing, in an interrogative key, the metropolis in no more than 90 minutes. The proposal points directly to a radical change in the way Barcelona's residents, and also visitors, see and visit the city, in favour of sustainable and alternative tourism. The exhibition had a hundred objects in its experimental version, from 2019 to 2021, and now has close to 200 in the new version. This permanent exhibition aims to foster methodological training for knowing the city.
