This Christmas, the Disseny Hub fills up with exhibitions and activities for all audiences

This holiday season, the Disseny Hub (DHub) presents a wide programme of exhibitions, showcases, and activities designed for all audiences.

Permanent exhibitions

Visitors can explore “Objectes comuns. Històries locals, debats globals”, a journey through objects that form part of the collective memory, as well as “Matter Matters. Dissenyar amb el món”, a reflection on the current and future challenges of design.
Fashion also plays a key role with “El cos vestit. Siluetes i moda (1550–2015)”, which traces the evolution of clothing through the centuries, and “Dissenyes o treballes? La nova comunicació visual (1980–2003)”, dedicated to the effervescence of graphic design during a period of major transformation.

Temporary exhibitions

Visitors can enjoy “Colita. Antifémina”, a tribute to the first feminist photobook published in 1977, on view until 25 January 2026 and requiring advance booking.
From 7 November to 25 January 2026, the programme will also include “Art (D)éco. El disseny, mirall de les Arts Decoratives”, organised by FAD and DHub, which revisits Barcelona’s participation in the 1925 International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris.

Showcases

Among the highlighted showcases, the DHub presents “The Value of Water”, a free exhibition that invites reflection on sustainability and the management of this essential resource, open until 11 January 2026, with free guided tours (booking required).
