The investigation room of the cases of “Crims”, a television, literary and radio phenomenon, arrives to an immersive exhibition on the Catalan black chronicle at the Palau Robert in Barcelona.
The program Crims by journalist Carles Porta is an audiovisual phenomenon on TV3 where chronicles of events in Catalonia are presented. Since its first broadcast in February 2020, it achieved an average of 910,000 viewers and a screen share of 22.5%.
Three seasons have been aired so far, the last one aired in June 2022 which achieved a 27.5% share. It is pertinent for you to know that the most watched episode was that of Manoli, which was broadcast on May 16 and which brought together an average of 934,000 viewers (26.3% audience share).
For its part, on Catalunya Ràdio it is already in its fourth season since it began broadcasting in 2018. And to complement its success, it recently made the leap to the platforms with its broadcast in Spanish on Movistar+, in addition to having several books published.
The “Crims” Exhibition, a Catalan crime chronicle
As the phenomenon continues to grow, the Crims team devised, together with the exhibition curator Carles Ortet and the advice of the Mossos d’Esquadra, the exhibition “Crims”.
This is an immersive, free and interactive exhibition that can already be visited on the second floor of the Palau Robert and will run until April 10, 2023. It is an exciting journey into some of the cases that have had the greatest impact on the audience.
Among them, the case of Angi, the crime of the Guardia Urbana, that of the Iaia Anita de Mataró, that of the “trans” Sonia de la Ciutadella or that of Isidre.
The exhibition begins in the first room, inviting attendees to scan a QR code. With it you will be able to play an interactive escape room or game of clues, which will allow you to enter directly into the scene of the different iconic crimes of the program.
In a dark and disturbing room, visitors can enter a crime scene and find elements that were part of it (wigs, boots, stolen jewelry, etc.).
You will also be able to be part of the research by doing research and using didactic and easy-to-understand methods to do it.
Visitors will also be able to learn how ballistic studies, DNA analysis, facial or blood identification are carried out.
One of the most impressive rooms for the public is the one decorated and designed as a real interrogation room. There you can play at being a policeman or a detainee.
Another room that is in high demand is the autopsy room.
