The exhibition “The Roma People of Catalonia: History and Culture” offers a journey through six centuries of history, shedding light on the legacy of the Roma community in Catalonia. At the Museu d’Història de Catalunya, the route takes visitors from the early days to the present, blending memory with a spirit of affirmation. Here, episodes of persecution, such as the Great Raid, coexist with the acknowledgement of a culture that has made its mark on language, music, and collective identity. An essential story for understanding what Catalonia is, too.

This is good to know

Many of the pieces come from Gypsy families, which brings an intimate and immediate dimension to the entire exhibition.
