The city has launched a new portal connecting more than 60 Barcelona museums and cultural organizations on one site. Billed as “a unique digital gateway to the city’s museum network,” the new site offers quick access to all the organizations, which includes public and private venues.
On first glance, the site is pretty basic. You can’t buy tickets or get updated information; it is strictly a “portal.” But the site makes it easy to see the menu of options, what’s available and the latest news.
In its press release, the city calls the site a “cultural curator.”
“The new portal is not intended to be merely a directory, but also an active and dynamic cultural curator, with content updated on a daily basis. It allows users to intuitively browse the agenda of temporary exhibitions, permanent collections and family-oriented or specialist activities, and becomes the central hub for major annual events involving museum spaces…”
Content is available in Catalan, Spanish and English, which is helpful. Beyond the general public, the portal is aimed at “cultural tourists, the educational community and specialist audiences.” You can also sign up for a monthly newsletter.
