150 years of the birth of Joan Amigó Barriga

On this day, 150 years ago, Joan Amigó Barriga (Badalona 1875-1958) was born. An architect who qualified in 1900, he is a prominent representative of the late modernist school, and is the greatest exponent of this style in Badalona, ​​where he worked as municipal architect between 1914 and 1924.

To mark this anniversary, the Museum is preparing an exhibition that will cover his biography, always linked to the social life of Badalona, ​​and his work, which mainly includes residential buildings and factories, some of which are part of the city’s heritage protection catalogue.

The exhibition will take place at the Museum between 15 May and 31 July, and will be accompanied by a publication and various activities.
