Ethnological Museum - Free Audio Guide

The Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món in Barcelona is a municipal ethnographic museum that documents and interprets traditional Catalan life alongside cultural expressions from around the world. Originating from municipal collections and private donations, the museum's holdings include folk art, costumes, domestic and ritual objects, tools, photographs and audiovisual materials, presented through permanent displays and rotating temporary exhibitions. Its historical role has been to preserve disappearing practices, support scholarly research and foster public understanding of cultural diversity. The displays, educational resources and archival material illuminate everyday life, craftsmanship and ritual meaning. The museum maintains regular opening hours, reasonable admission arrangements and accessibility provisions, and collaborates with communities and researchers so exhibitions reflect living cultural contexts.
