Over the centuries, the Town Hall has amassed a vast collection of objects linked to Barcelona's history, which it has preserved in the former art museum.<\/p>\n<p>These objects were eventually preserved by archivist and historian Agust\u00ed Duran i Sanpere and exhibited at the second Barcelona International Exhibition in 1929. For the first time, they could be seen both as a collection of singular objects, and as building blocks of a coherent narrative on the history of the Catalan capital.<\/p>\n<p>The Museu d'Hist\u00f2ria de Barcelona was inaugurated after the Spanish Civil War in 1943. The exhibits planned at the time were intended to showcase the 1929 International Exhibition. However, the museum <strong>its full potential only in the early 1960s.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc124075272\"><\/a><strong>Barcelona History Museum: a place at the heart of Roman ruins<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The main site is located inside Casa Padell\u00e0s, a Gothic-style merchant palace from the XVI\u1d49 century. In the early 1930s, the building was to have been moved in preparation for the creation of a major new artery, the Via Laietana. However, preparatory work on the road uncovered <strong>numerous remains of the ancient Roman town of Barcino<\/strong>. This discovery aroused public interest in learning more about the town's history.<\/p>\n<p>In 1961, the municipality decided to erect a concrete roof over the Roman and Visigoth remains, allowing visitors to see one of Barcelona's earliest iterations. <strong>dating from the 1\u1d49\u02b3 century BC<\/strong>. On this level, you can stroll through Roman streets, stopping off at a laundry, a dyeing workshop and a factory that produced garum, a fermented fish sauce that was the ketchup of the ancient world.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the museum has incorporated other areas discovered during archaeological excavations. These include the Temple of Augustus, the Roman funerary road incorporated into Madrid's Pla\u00e7a de la Vila and the remains of a Roman villa. <strong>found on Pla\u00e7a d'Antoni Maura<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Since the 1970s, however, the museum has stepped up its focus on contemporary Barcelona and integrated new heritage centers into the city's neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>The museum's most outstanding feature is its archaeological excavations. <strong>under the Pla\u00e7a del Rei<\/strong>. However, other exhibitions, detailing Barcelona in the Middle Ages, will give you a good idea of the city's rich history.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/28936881165_dafbc0bf55_k.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1908\" src=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/28936881165_dafbc0bf55_k-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"barcelona history museum\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/28936881165_dafbc0bf55_k-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/28936881165_dafbc0bf55_k-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/28936881165_dafbc0bf55_k-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/28936881165_dafbc0bf55_k-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/28936881165_dafbc0bf55_k.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc124075273\"><\/a><strong>How do I get to the Barcelona History Museum?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To get to the Museu d'Hist\u00f2ria de Barcelona, you can borrow :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Line 4 (yellow line) of the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/metro-barcelona\/\">metro<\/a><\/strong> and get off at \"Jaume I\" station.
