“Barraques” (Chabolas). The Informal City

Filed under:Exhibition — posted by admin on July 17, 2008 @ 15:39

Thu 18 Sep 08 – Sun 22 Feb 09

At Museu d’Història de Barcelona (Plaza del Rey, s/n)

This exposition intends to explain the origin of “chabolas” in the “Sorromostro” neighbourhood” and its development, along the 20th century, the process of the “informal” growth of the city, in conflict with the urban planning.

More than 150 photographs, paintings, urban maps and other documents showing the old “Somorrostro” “chabola” neighbourhood between the “Barceloneta” beach and “Poblenou”; and also to remember the families that used to live there. (Taken from www.museuhistoria.bcn.cat & http://w3.bcn.es)
