The exhibition will be open from 7 pm, for those who want to visit it, with  measures of health prevention and with a limited capacity (25 persons at the same time).

Recovered photographs of the Archive of Josep M. Cuyàs

In recent years, thanks to the selfless dedication of some collaborators (to one of whom, Josep Lombarte, we dedicate this gallery since he died a few days ago), we have been digitizing an important part of the photographic collections keeps the Museum of Badalona. In these collections we find positive photographs on paper, slides and also negative photographs in film.

Recently, we have just copied in digital format the photographic negatives from the Josep M. Cuyàs archive and, as it could not be otherwise, some photographic jewels and, above all, images of a city and of corners that no longer exist have appeared, old views of Badalona that we invite you to discover.

We bring the Museum to your classroom

The Museu de Badalona starts a new program called “El Museu a l’aula”,  a project that will move the workshops on Roman culture to the school environment. If the school can’t visit the Museum, our educators will go to the center! This way we want to keep in touch with students and teachers and minimize the negative effects of the pandemic.

The offer of workshops that we can bring you to the classroom is wide and will allow you to know first hand, through the explanations of our team but also through direct experimentation, aspects as diverse as writing, the calendar, economics, the archeology of death or farewell rituals in Roman times.

For further information do not hesitate to contact us: 933 841 750/934 644 911 eespejo@museudebadalona.cat

 

 

 

New installation of photographs in the Plaza de Josep Cortinas

Next Sunday, November 29th, at noon, on occasion of the 25th anniversary of the death of Josep Cortinas Suñol (1908-1995), the installation of eight large images, made by this photographer, will be inaugurated, in the square that bears his name, in the neighborhood of the Center of Badalona.

The eight images, which will replace those that were in this space since 2008, are just a small sample of Cortinas ’work, with which,  we want to pay tribute to him. It is also a way of claiming and making known the invaluable value of his photographs, an exceptional chronicle of everyday life in our city during the second half of the twentieth century.

His work, which he donated to the Museum in 1981, consists of about 83,000 images, and led to the creation of the Image Archive of the Museum of Badalona, which is much larger today.
