The Can Framis Museum, on the occasion of Sant Jordi’s Day, offers free entry and discounts on catalogs on April 23rd.
You can freely visit the permanent exhibition, ‘A permanently changing collection’. It features more than 200 works by around a hundred Catalan artists in a chronological journey from the 1930s to the present, aiming to reflect universal human concerns beyond academic discourse.
You can also visit the exhibition ‘A great failure’, by Gonçal Sobrer, an outsider creator who has worked across multiple mediums—painting, objects, installations, happenings and performances, as well as theater, photography and cinema—always with a critical, locally rooted perspective tied to his neighborhood, Poblenou.
This year they have prepared a very special proposal together with the restaurant El Tribut: a frozen library! They have turned The Odyssey, One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Jungle Book, Out of Africa, Ulysses and Tirant lo Blanc into ice creams that allow you to enter the stories through taste.
You can try them at El Tribut restaurant or at the ice cream shop, where they also give away bookmarks designed for the occasion.
