Barcelona
Carrer de la Portaferrissa, 16

In the heart of Barcelona's Ciutat Vella, a door opens to a unique experience for music lovers, and rock fans in particular. Guitar Legends Hall offers a complete immersion in the history, culture, and magic of rock, with over 1,000 square meters of space designed to surprise, excite, and transport visitors through time and sound.

From the very beginning, the exhibition places us at the origins of the genre, with an evocative space that recreates the intimate atmosphere of a blues bar. It is here that the first narrative threads begin to be woven: how the need for guitars, percussion, and the blues as a form of expression of intense feelings arose, and how all of this evolved into the rock revolution.

The experience continues toward key locations: a 1960s television studio, where you can capture the impact of pop culture and the first musical broadcasts that reached the living rooms of many people; a large open-air festival, with all its grandeur, its audience, and its boundless energy. In each space, the visual and auditory surprises are numerous, designed to make everyone feel not just a spectator, but a protagonist.

Highlights of the visit

Interactive museum

It's not just about looking at objects, but also interacting with them. You can turn on vintage jukeboxes, listen to snippets of records in a retro shop, or actively participate in screens dedicated to music videos. You can also listen to the music of the guitars on display: each one brings a story, a sonic personality.

Play guitar

For those who feel the rock music inside, there's a chance to put their rock talent to the test. The tour allows you, in certain spaces, to pick up a real guitar and experience—even if only for a few minutes—the vibrations and emotions that come with playing a real guitar.

Final concert and holograms

And finally, the moment many have been waiting for arrives: the concert of concerts. At this point, the legendary guitarists appear before you as if they were right there, playing for you, albeit in hologram form. It's a blend of technology, nostalgia, and spectacle that closes the tour with a powerful emotional impact.

Atmosphere, architecture and location

In each room, special attention is paid to the lighting, acoustics, and decorative details, elements that transport you to different rock settings and eras. From the austere, technical clarity of the blues to the glamorous yet weathered feel of stadium rock, each setting is designed to be believable, to awaken memories and new emotions.

An experience for all audiences

Guitar Legends Hall isn't just for seasoned music lovers. It's for everyone who loves music—for teenagers, families, groups of friends, tourists enamored with musical culture, and of course, for anyone who's never heard anything other than rock as noise: here you'll find clarity, history, and emotion.

The exhibition includes a variety of resources so everyone can experience their visit at their own pace, from quiet curiosity to total, active immersion.

A place where rock history becomes experience!
