The Vallhonrat Museum Foundation has committed to innovating and expanding the history of Rubin with a collection of children’s stories, which on this occasion, deal with the museum space itself, local facts and traditions with the aim that children identify and learn about part of the history and adults enjoy sharing moments of reading, activities and memories, creating a calm and familiar intergenerational space.
With a print run of 500 copies, the collection began in early 2022 with the story Come to the Museum , which presents each of the museum’s rooms in a friendly way.
This same year, and to commemorate the tragic flood, the story 1962, la riérada that was presented at the end of the year, explains this event that took place in the municipality of Rubin and that so many families experienced and suffered.
In subsequent editions, the big boot has been published for the importance of wine in Rubí, The colors of the garden to raise awareness among children about caring for nature and our environment, Grandpa Quim, who is already our grandparents who have known the museum’s objects firsthand, The girl who lives in the museum as recognition of the exclusive jobs that women had in the past, Miquel Vallhonrat collector and many more stories that we will gradually publish.
As has always been the case, the stories are distributed free of charge at the municipal library, day care centers and senior citizens’ residences, all educational lines of Rubí schools and to children between 4 and 10 years old, who stop by Finques Vallhonrat to pick them up, during office hours, while supplies last.
