Filling the Sink

Censored, prohibited, vandalized - inside Barcelona’s Museum of Forbidden Art


Listen Later

The Museum of Forbidden Art is the first of its kind in the world, displaying art pieces that were censored or banned at some point in history and in various different countries. Whether the reason was political, social or religious, these works have now found a new home in Barcelona.

In this episode, we’ll hear from the people behind the museum and look back at the history of censorship under Francisco Franco's dictatorship.

The Catalan phrase of the week is: "Caure la cara de vergonya," which translates to "Shame on you."

Presented by Lucía Benavides with Lea Beliaeva and Oriol Escudé.
