The\u00a0Museum Quiz Summer Tour\u00a0was inspired by the <\/strong>pub quiz<\/a><\/strong>, a contest of questions and answers that is played in the pubs of Great Britain <\/strong>which has been so successful that it has spread all over the world.\u00a0 The four museums, the Museu de Ci\u00e8ncies Naturals de Barcelona<\/a>, the Museu d\u2019Arqueologia de Catalunya<\/a>, the Museu Mar\u00edtim de Barcelona<\/a> and the Museu Nacional d\u2019Art de Catalunya<\/a>, have adapted this game consisting of different rounds of questions and answers of a comparable level to Trivial Pursuit with some of them referring to the theme of each museum. The quizmaster, responsible for leading and animating the context was the actor and humourist Alberte Montes.<\/p>\n
