About

How do museums decide what to keep? What makes an everyday object worth preserving for a thousand years? In this family workshop tied to the Montserrat, Mother and Land exhibition at Museu Frederic Marès, kids get a brief guided tour through 40 remarkable objects, from ancient carvings of the Virgin of Montserrat to popular devotional items collected over centuries. Then they dive into a hands-on activity that brings the idea of collecting to life in a way that's playful and participatory. The museum itself is a hidden gem tucked inside the Gothic Quarter's medieval Royal Palace, with a gorgeous outdoor courtyard.
