4-storey museum at the entrance to La Barceloneta, with permanent and thematic exhibitions
At the entrance to La Barceloneta, this museum occupies a vast brick building known as the Palau del Mar. In the past, the building was used as a warehouse for the goods of the ships that docked in the port. On four floors, visitors can discover Catalan history and memory, from prehistory to the present day, through objects, documents and historical reconstructions. In addition to the permanent exhibition, themed exhibitions are organized on a regular basis.

The Museu d'Història de Catalunya (Museum of the History of Catalonia) is a fascinating institution located in Barcelona, dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of Catalonia.
The museum offers interactive elements such as touch screens, audio guides, and multimedia presentations, which enhance the visitor experience and make learning about history more engaging and accessible.
The Museu d'Història de Catalunya is typically divided into several sections or areas, each focusing on different periods or aspects of Catalonia's history. The museum often begins with exhibits dedicated to ancient Catalonia, covering prehistoric times, the Roman period, and the early medieval era.
Then, it's the "Medieval Catalonia", another significant section typically focuses on medieval Catalonia, including the feudal period, the rise of Catalan institutions such as the Generalitat, and the development of Catalan language and culture.
Next, the museum dedicates space to more recent periods of Catalonia's history, including the Renaissance, the industrial revolution, the Spanish Civil War, and the Francoist dictatorship.
