When the Frenchman Jacques Léonard married the beautiful Rosario, a gypsy from the Montjuïc neighbourhood, he became a firsthand witness of the gypsy community of Barcelona in the 1950s and 1960s. His camera registered this from the inside. The exhibition includes a selection of these domestic photographs and allows viewers to discover why his photographs are the most significant photographic base of the 20th century gypsy culture in Barcelona.
