The plans for the archaeological interventions carried out by the Museum’s archeology department between the 1970s and 2001 have been being scanned at the Museum since last week.
In a second phase, once these documents have been scanned, they will be digitized so that they can be kept in optimal conditions, used in future research or consulted on the web.
Much work remains to be done to digitize the entire archaeological planimetry collection, which consists of more than 1,000 plants and sections, drawn on tracing paper.
Since 2001, all interventions have been documented in digital suport.
The relationship between the Roman city of Baetulo and wine is so intense that one cannot be explained without the other. It is for this reason that the Museum of Badalona will organize, in October 2022, with the collaboration of the universities (UAB and UB) and the research centers of classical archeology (ICAC and MAC Empúries), an international congress on the economy, production and trade of wine in the Mediterranean.
It will be the third symposium on wine in antiquity held by the Museum following a tradition that began in 1985, and which reaffirms the Museum as a reference center for research and dissemination of the ancient world.
With the publication of the congress website, we are opening what we hope will be a meeting that will facilitate scientific debate between several research groups in the field of wine in antiquity.

FRIDAY JUNE 11TH
Today MuseumWeek asks participation and creativity with the hashtag #CaptionthisMW. What name would you give to this sculpture by the Badalona artist Josep Uclés?
Uclés (Badalona 1952-La Roca del Vallés 2013) stood out above all as a painter, but he was also the author of some sculptures, such as the one in the image, which is part of the collections of the Museu de Badalona. In all cases he used to put very significant titles on his works, and this is no exception.
Let your imagination run wild and let us know your suggestions. At the end of the day we will tell you the name he gave him. In the meantime, however, we invite you to title it yourself.

Today the motto of the #MuseumWeek is #EurekaMW. But do you know exactly what eureka means?
It is a Greek exclamation that translates as “I found it” and is used to express the joy one feels for having solved a problem or made a discovery, for example. ???
A discovery like the one we explain you today!
⛏️Recently, during the works to adapt a house in Dalt de la Vila, a large impluvium, about 20 m2, was uncovered.
An impluvium was a small pond located in the atrium of Roman houses that was used to collect water from the compluvium, an open space on the roof, and under it, sometimes, a tank was built to store the water that would be used for different domestic uses.?
The peculiarity of this impluvium, in addition to its large dimensions, is that it supplied water to a large tank preserved in the subsoil with a capacity for about 67,000 liters of water !! ??
This large deposit, discovered in the late eighteenth century, was popularly known as the well of St. Anastasi because it was believed to be the prison that the Romans had used to imprison this saint.
The impluvium preserves in its corners openings through which the water that was taken to the tank through a ceramic channel inserted in the work was captured. We believe it would have a total of four pickups, one at each corner. An overflow that could have drained into the atrium could also be documented.
This simple catchment system greatly facilitated the supply of water to the city of Baetulo from the earliest times of its foundation.
? Does this finding well deserve a EUREKA?

# BehindMWCameras
This second day of # MuseumWeek2021, we invite you to discover a scene that always takes place # BehindTheMW Cameras: the lighting of an exhibition.
A fundamental task that gives the finishing touch and elegantly dresses any exhibition proposal!
Can you imagine the exhibition “Pedro Rovira, 1921-1978” without the essential work of our colleague Francisco Ruiz Leal illuminating each of the pieces?

MONDAY JUNE 7TH
Once again we join the MuseumWeek, a global event that allows us to bring you different aspects of our Museum through the networks. Today we tell you the story that hides this tile from the Torre Vella in Badalona.
In 1279, Guillem de Dufort sold to Pere de Sant Climent, scribe of the King a property with fortification and the lands and rights he had over in Badalona. This property, known as Torre Vella, was one of the most important medieval manor houses in the town of Badalona, and its properties and rights extended over much of the territory. We could say that surely more than 30% of the territory of Badalona belonged to this house and everything that was in these lands (houses, lands, plots, people, ..) was under the feudal jurisdiction of the possessors. of the estate.
Since then, the ownership of the Torre Vella (the extent and rights of which have changed over the centuries) has been increasingly owned by the same family.
At the beginning of the 16th century, the Sant Climent family (who had a blue bell on a gold background) married a daughter to a descendant of the Gualbes (whose shield was three waves on a white background). With the marriage union, the new coat of arms was created, which was divided between the bell and the gualbes.
The tile We are talking about is a Gothic tile, made with a drill and decorated in white and blue. The shield is divided into two halves: in the first there is a bell, and in the second four gualbes. At each angle, apart from what is actually the shield, floral motifs have been represented.
Many of these tiles should have been part of the pavements of the Torre Vella building, which, with the reforms carried out over the centuries, were discarded and replaced by another pavement. Those preserved by the Badalona Museum were found when excavations were carried out in areas that had been owned by the estate.

International Museum Day is approaching and this year we have the help of actress Anna Moliner and screenwriter Victoria Szpunberg to convince you to come to our Museum to discover the Roman city of Baetulo!
A journey through time that will take you to the city of 2,000 years ago!
This year, on the occasion of International Museum Day and Museum Night, on Saturday 15th May we hold an open day (from 10 am to 2 pm and from 5 pm to 9 pm) at the Roman baths-Decumanus space and the Dolphin Houses and of the Ivy.
An opportunity you can’t miss!
This video is part of the project Museums on Stage promoted by the Diputació de Barcelona in order to disseminate the heritage of our Museums, with the help of big names in the performing arts and communication in the country.
We invite you to discover them all at this link:
On May 11th, the festivity of Sant Anastasi is celebrated in Badalona, a character who, according to legendary tradition, was born in Lleida. He was a soldier in Diocletian’s Praetorian Guard and was martyred in Badalona along with 73 comrades in 305.
Patron of Badalona since 1672, the day of the saint is the central day of the Festes de Maig, in which the festivities of the city are celebrated with a series of acts and performances (the most significant, the night of May 10th, when the Demon is burned). On the street named after the saint, there is a niche with his image.
The set of photographs of this gallery testify, in different years, to one of the religious acts that take place around the festivity: the procession with the tabernacle with the saint who, at the beginning of the 20th century, left the church of Santa María, walked by the street of Sant Sebastià and returned to the church. Years later, it will make longer walks through the city streets.
This tradition, which lasted until the seventies, was recovered as an act of tradition in the Festes de Maig during the transition from the twentieth to the twenty-first century.
The new issue of the magazine of the Museum of Badalona, Carrer dels Arbres, corresponding to the year 2021, is now available on our website.
