===Areas=== |
|||
The Poble Espanyol has replications of 117 buildings representing fifteen [[autonomous communities of Spain]] − [[Andalusia]], [[Aragon]], [[Asturias]], [[Cantabria]], [[Castilla-La Mancha]], [[Castilla y León]], [[Catalonia]], the [[Valencian Community]], [[Extremadura]], [[Galicia, Spain|Galicia]], the [[Baleric Islands]], the [[Community of Madrid]], the [[Region of Murcia]], [[Navarre]], and the [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque Country]]. The autonomous communities of [[La Rioja (Spain)|La Rioja]] and the [[Canary Islands]] are not represented. The first is not present because it was not a separate region of Spain when the museum was designed and built. The Canary Islands are not represented because the four designers could not travel to them for economic reasons. |

The recreated village still contains the streets, squares and facades of the different areas of Spain. The village hosts many different events including gastronomic festivals, concerts in summer, [[flamenco]] shows, private events such as weddings, and children's activities. |

The Poble Espanyol exhibits more than 30 artisans who regularly work within the village making blown glass, leather, ceramics, jewelry, masks, baskets, and Spanish guitars. They create handmade items which are sold to the visitors. |

It is a private collection open to the public featuring over 295 works of contemporary Spanish artists including [[Pablo Picasso]], [[Salvador Dalí]], [[Joan Miró]], [[Antoni Tàpies]], Barceló, [[Josep Guinovart]] and Amat. The museum holds paintings, sculptures, tapestries, drawings and ceramics, and a sculpture garden, with 41 large sculptures. The works by Picasso include ceramics from the 1950s and 1960s, where he used both traditional techniques and his own methods. |

The Poble Espanyol (literally, Spanish town) is an open-air architectural museum in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, approximately 400 metres away from the Fountains of Montjuïc. Built for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, the museum consists of 117 full-scale buildings replicated from different places in the Iberian Peninsula, joined forming a small town recreating urban atmospheres of disparate places in Spain. It also contains a theater, restaurants, artisan workshops and a museum of contemporary art.
History
[edit]The museum was built for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition as an exhibit of the architecture and townscapes found in different places of the Iberian Peninsula, mostly from Spain. The idea was promoted by the Catalan architect Puig i Cadafalch and the project was realized by architects Francesc Folguera and Ramon Reventós, art critic and painter Miquel Utrillo and painter Xavier Nogués.
The four professionals visited over 600,000 sites to collect examples in an attempt to synthesize characteristics that might be attributed to the Iberian Peninsula.[1] In reality, though, this sort of patched-up ensemble is proof of the wide variety, and therefore the utmost impossibility, to fulfill its claim to be a ‘Spanish’ town, because there is not a unified style or solid common traits shared among the different cultures that form Spain.
