Live Montjuic 2022. Autumn comes to the mountain full of party

As usual, the Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món took part in the annual recreation and culture days held at Montjuïc.

Facilities around the mountain will showcase their range of cultural offerings over the weekend of Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 October.

On these days, the Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món will also hold open days where people can visit the whole museum, and will also put on two fun and interesting activities which start at 10 am.

Clue game!

The clue game is an autonomous activity where participants explore and discover the hidden secrets of the collection of objects from around the world, showcased in the area we call the visitable reserve.

This is a family-friendly activity (meaning children can take part when accompanied by adults), where participants work in teams of four people. The activity is conducted without monitors and is an original way of connecting and familiarising yourself with the huge exhibition of objects on the ground floor of the museum. This space features a wide array of everyday materials used for different purposes, such as playing, cooking, dressing, worshipping and more. The game consists of finding certain objects through clues about their uses, the culture they originated in, the materials they’re made from and their location within the reserve. Each object gives us a key word. Each team will have to find five or six words which, when combined, form a message.

Dynamics

Participants can get the answers at the museum reception once they finish the route.

Date: Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 October, 2022

Time: 10 am to 7 pm

Duration: 20-30 mins Free activity (no booking required)

Age: 7 years and above
