Barcelona Year Zero

Barcelona’s Year Zero was 1939, the year the Fascists paraded victoriously through its streets. This exhibition looks in detail at the occupation that followed, as well as parallels with other European cities forced to live under Fascism in the same period. Using audio-visual material, the show charts the changes in Barcelona’s institutions and way of life, together with the history of both Spanish and European Fascism. An ambitious and imaginative exhibition, designed especially for the city’s history museum.
