The building that was once a veil weaver’s house is now the home of a branch of the city’s history museum, the MUHBA, in the old Jewish Quarter, El Call. Its purpose is to provide an insight into the major contributions made by this community during the Middle Ages.
The MUHBA in El Call showcases everyday objects from the 13th and 14th centuries, found during archaeological digs in the area. Noteworthy exhibits include Khanukiyyes, dishes with Hebrew characters, and a facsimile of the illustrated manuscript, the Sarajevo Haggadah, produced in the Catalan region, which depicts 15th-century scenes, and two tombstones with Hebrew inscriptions.
The first floor holds temporary exhibitions that reflect the importance of Barcelona's Jewish Quarter in medieval Judaism.
The MUHBA El Call also offers a series of activities, including guided tours of the Jewish Quarter, mornings in El Call (walks and discussions about medieval Barcelona and the Jewish community), talks by Hebrew experts, tastings of Catalan-Jewish dishes and Jewish storytelling sessions.
