Virreina Palace — Attraction in Barcelona

Went in off the street on a Monday in January and discovered there's a free exhibition there. It had a mixture of films, sounds, paintings and so on, often intertwined together as part of the same exhibit to tell a story.

Absolute 5 starts for this place....
