What to expect
You'll move through thoughtfully curated galleries that blend archival material, video testimony, and innovative multimedia. Rather than passive viewing, exhibits invite you to engage—understanding the physics and psychology behind tower-building, the roles within a castell crew, and why these events remain central to Catalan identity. The architectural design itself is deliberately unconventional, guiding you through spaces that challenge typical museum layouts. Expect detailed explanations of costume, music, and regional variations across Catalonia.
