This year’s theme is Museums, Sustainability and Wellbeing, and, on or around the day, museums organize a variety of activities for all publics and open their doors free of charge. The CCCB offers free admission to its exhibitions.

Free admission to the exhibition "Sade"

Sade was a clandestine and censored writer who was imprisoned, but is now a classic of French literature. He was acclaimed as a revolutionary who supported freedom, whilst arousing scandal and outrage. The exhibition looks at the stereotypes associated with his name and explores the aesthetic, philosophical and political implications of his legacy. Sade challenges us to confront the most disturbing aspects of human nature.
