  • 4/5 Joan Gi (. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A restored farmhouse in the modernist style that has the facilities as a museum dedicated to Bishop Jacint Verdaguer, who spent the last years of his life in this house. Very interesting, documents and literary chronology in Europe and in the world, books, rooms and documentaries, both of the life of Verdaguer and of several literary Catalans. An ideal exhibition, I have learned a lot, apart from poetry and books, documentaries and photos and things from several centuries is very good. Free and with adapted parking, next to the interpretation and information center of the park, the bar, the park with magnificent views and leisure forests. (Original) Una Masia restaurada al estil modernista que té les instal·lacions com a museu dedicat al Mossèn Jacint Verdaguer, què va passar els últims anys de la seva vida en aquesta casa. Molt interessant, documents i cronologia literària a Europa i al món, llibres, estances i documentals, tant de la vida de Verdaguer com de varis Catalans literaris. Una exposició idònia, he après molt, a part de la poesia i els llibres, els documentals i les fotos i les coses de varis segles és molt bó. Gratuït i amb aparcament adaptat, al costat del centre d'interpretació i informació del parc, el bar, el parc amb unes vistes i uns boscos de lleure magnífics.

    Very interesting visit to the old school for the "disabled" in Villa Joana, it's shocking to see how language and society have evolved. The tour explains the school, the history of literature and of Jacint Verdaguer and finally the evolution of Barcelona during the last two centuries. We were there for 1.5 hours and we still didn't have enough time.

    Beautiful beautiful ul and museum. Unfortunately? The building was closed when I arrived but you could still walk around the surroundings and take pictures of the views.

  • 5/5 Jose Manuel Real G. 1 month ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    House museum unknown to almost everyone, but it is really worth it, for the content (Verdaguer, literature and special education) and for the building.

    Great museum about literature and the writer Verdaguer. Take the walk back into town via Torre de Collserola.

    They have an exposition about Jacint Verdaguer, but there's a lot of empty space.

    Nice museum with interesting history

  • 5/5 Kirsten T. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful building, and a very interesting and inspiring exhibition. You can see the bed the poet Verdaguer died in, an interesting film about Barcelona culture in the Raval quarter, listen to poems in many different languages on old telephones and learn the moving story of the years that Vila Joana was used as a school for disabled children.

    Nice building open to visit and with a literature themed musuem. It is part of Barcelona's nerwork of museums and its quality is fine. Museums are always worth a visit
