Pessebre de Nadal al Monestir de Pedralbes

The Christmas Nativity Scene of the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Pedralbes presents a large-scale diorama created in collaboration with the Associació de Pessebristes de Barcelona. The assembly combines natural elements and pieces worked in plaster and represents the birth of Jesus in an idealised landscape. The figures are the work of Andreu Muns i Fernández, trained at the Escola Llotja de Barcelona and linked to a reference lineage of Catalan nativity-scene making from the second half of the 20th century. The ensemble also includes a depiction of the Adoration of the Magi with figures by the Castells brothers. On 12 December the monastery celebrates an open-day event on the occasion of the nativity scene. Find more information about the Christmas Nativity Scene on the website of the Monastery of Pedralbes.
