Una m� de contes del MNAC (Loads of stories) to Barcelona's libraries

The MNAC is coming out of the Palau Nacional. This July the MNAC's Una m� de contes project is starting its tour of Barcelona's libraries, opening up the Museum to new forms of participation and bringing it closer to the city's neighbourhoods.

Una m� de contes del MNAC is a partnership between the Museum and Televisi� de Catalunya, which has been on show for almost a year in the Museum's Espai Educart and now also in Barcelona's libraries, presenting 20 stories inspired by the works in the collection seen from a new point of view.

The first stop is the Ignasi Igl�sias-Can Fabra library in Sant Andreu, where from 11 August you'll find somewhere where you can play at imagining new stories based on settings and characters that appear in the works in the collection. The activity consists in cutting out the characters, adding them to the scene and imagining new dialogues and stories with them.
You can also take part in the micro-story competition and win two free tickets to the Museum and a DVD of Una m� de contes, every month.

Forthcoming libraries participating in this project:

Biblioteca de Can Fabra: July - September 17 2012

Biblioteca G�tic-Andreu Nin: September 18 - December 10 2012

Biblioteca Xavier Benguerel: December 14 - February 22 2013

Biblioteca El Carmel-Juan Mars�: February 27 - April 19 2013

On the Una m� de contes television programme's web site you'll find workshops and more stories for playing and imagining.
