Cultural Experiences 2017

noticia3

 

The Peralada Castle Museum is programming the “Cultural Experiences” for 2017. Besides hosting the two lectures in the International Music Festival (conversations with Franco Battiato and James Rhodes), a second edition of the Symposium on glass that began last year has been scheduled, shared with the Roussillon association, Albères Verrières.
This year, it will focus fundamentally on the porrón drinking jar with spout from the point of view of the chronology, type and dissemination. The last lecture will look at the restoration of the Carme Convent in Peralada (home of the Museum), documented recently by Inés Padrosa, who will by now have published a work on it. The lecture will be preceded by another by Joan Albert Adell, one of the great historians of Catalan mediaeval architecture and restorer, which will place the context of the above work: “Late Nineteenth-Century Mediaeval restorations in Catalonia. An Overview”.
