Very interesting exhibition looking at the concentration camps that were set up for the spanish and international fighters who were fleeing Franco. A harsh reminder of how people can be treated, particularly poignant in the current global climate. The explanations are only available in, French, Catalan and Spanish (maybe occitain?). It's lacking QR code links which might make it more accessible to others and allow for extra information to be shared. Tickets here also give you free access to some other local sites of interest/museums. This makes the already low price even more interesting.
