Mònica Borrell, new director of the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia

BarcelonaMònica Borrell will be the new director of the Archaeology Museum of Catalonia, following the sudden departure of Júsep Boya, who had been in charge of the facility since 2018. Boya had renovated the entire permanent exhibition dedicated to Ancient Rome and had an immediate plan to change the permanent exhibition dedicated to prehistory at the Administration of the Cultural Heritage Agency to fill this position. She has been selected, through a public competition, by an evaluation committee made up of members of the Department of Culture and external experts in the field. For years, she has been in charge of the National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona and had previously been the managing director of the Cultural Heritage area of the Gavà City Council (Barcelona) and director of the Gavà Museum and the Mines de Gavà Archaeological Park.
