Whether the reason was political, social or religious, these works have now found a new home in Barcelona. In this episode, we’ll hear from the people behind the museum and look back at the history of censorship under Francisco Franco's dictatorship.

The Catalan phrase of the week is: "Caure la cara de vergonya," which translates to "Hang your head in shame." Presented by Lucía Benavides with Lea Beliaeva and Oriol Escudé.
