During the visit
The permanent exhibition "The passion for writing. Josep Pla (1897-1981)" allows visitors to discover various facets of the writer's life and work, placing it within the Catalan reality and European context of the 20th century. With an approach that encourages visitor interaction, the exhibition combines objects and handwritten and period documentation with digital and audiovisual elements, allowing users to delve into the author's private life and experience the sensation of visiting the iconic Mas Pla.
If you come with the family, we offer you a 'Plan for little big curious minds'’: complementary recreational activities that offer you other perspectives on Pla's work and will help you connect his work and experiences with today's reality.
You will also find a Temporary exhibition, which periodically proposes specific approaches in its work and connections with other forms of artistic expression.
