In Barcelona, censored art now has its own museum.
Since 2018, Catalan collector Tatxo Benet has purchased almost 200 artworks from around the world that were subjected to censorship for one reason or another. Around 40 of these are on display in his Museum of Forbidden Art, which opened on 26 October.
