It's
been
a
long
time
since
the
last
time
I
had
been
at
Palau
Robert.
Yesterday,
I
could
enjoy
three
well-curated
free
exhibitions.
The
first
one,
which
is
located
in
their
backyards,
it
is
a
retrospective
of
Òmnium
Cultural,
one
of
Catalonian
main
cultural
association
that
has
over
50
years
of
history
defending
the
rights
for
equal
education
and
the
preservation
of
Catalan
cultural
values
and
language.
I
think
this
will
be
made
itinerant
and
available
in
different
cities
of
the
Catalan
territory,
due
to
its
exponential
growing
character
and
the
recent
increase
in
affiliation
as
well
as
the
opening
of
more
of
their
cultural
centers.
The
second
one,
located
on
the
ground
floor
of
the
palace,
is
about
one
of
the
most
iconic
theatre
mimic
trio
in
Catalonia
if
not
the
most,
called
Tricicle.
This
is
a
retrospective
of
their
career
and
journey
throughout
the
world
touring
and
with
the
amazing
ability
to
spark
a
smile
every
10
seconds,
despite
the
text
being
only
available
in
Spanish
and
Catalan,
there
is
no
need
to
read
much,
since
there
are
many
screens
where
you
can
see
their
funny
sketches
about
sports,
terror,
ordinary
situations,
or
mental
health,
my
favourite
one
is
the
special
about
chairs,
its
probably
one
of
the
last
shows
made
on
theatre
using
this
object
as
the
only
interaction
tool.
They
also
have
displayed
plenty
of
memorabilia
from
their
shows.
Finally,
on
the
first
floor,
there
is
an
exhibition
about
the
underground
counterculture
scene
in
Barcelona
during
the
70's
and
80's,
again
the
text
is
all
in
both
Catalán
and
Spanish,
but
is
still
worth
it
to
visit
for
any
fans
of
the
arts
and
music.
You
will
find
a
huge
photography
collection,
a
lot
of
amazing
magazine
covers
from
Spanish
Ajoblanco
magazine,
how
the
influences
from
Californiana
London
and
Amsterdam
contributed
to
solidify
the
hippies
movement,
specially
in
the
Balearic
Islands,
alternative
experimental
music,
you
will
also
discover
how
many
local
artists
like
Pepe
Riba
or
Jaume
Sisa
used
their
influences
from
artists
like
Frank
Zappa
or
the
English
rock
band
King
Crimson,
(when
their
both
performed
here
in
Barcelona,
the
audience
really
loved
it)
to
create
and
innovate
in
the
músic
scene,
they
frequented
a
musical
Bar
called
'Celeste'
located
in
the
Born
area
of
Barcelona,
which
unfortunately
doesn't
exist
anymore.
Go
check
it
out
before
it's
over!
