The Barcelona History Museum (MUHBA) already has a long history : conceived during the first third of the 20th century and foreshadowed in the Barcelona Pavilion of the 1929 International Exhibition, it finally located its main headquarters in 1943 in the Casa Padellàs and Plaça del Rei. Its function is to preserve, study, document, disseminate and expose the historical heritage and history of Barcelona from its origins to the present day.
The MUHBA depends on Barcelona City Council through the Institut de Cultura de Barcelona (ICUB) and brings together a whole set of diverse heritage spaces relevant to the history of the city. These spaces are connected with the contents they exhibit, bringing history and heritage into dialogue, and are distributed throughout the different neighborhoods and districts of it.
