"They Were There Too" Themed Guided Tour
28 November 2026
Museu d'Història de Catalunya, la Barceloneta, Ciutat Vella
How did women live in Roman Tarraco? What power did medieval countesses wield? What was daily life like for peasant women, craftswomen, factory workers or the women who defended democracy and their rights? This tour offers a look at the history of Catalonia from a perspective that has often been made invisible: that of women. Through the rooms of the permanent exhibition, visitors will discover how women have taken part in building society over the centuries, from the family sphere and care work to politics, work, culture and social activism. A route that recovers names, experiences and leading roles often absent from the accounts of traditional historiography, and invites us to reflect on the progress achieved and the challenges that still remain. Language Catalan Accessibility The museum has portable hearing loops for tours. To use them, they must be booked in advance by emailing mhcvisites.cultura@gencat.cat.
