The strike outside the Museum of Forbidden Art in Barcelona leads to its indefinite closure.

The Museum of Forbidden Art , located in Barcelona's Casa Garriga Nogués, will close its doors indefinitely this Friday due to "the economic losses caused by the escrache (smear protest) in front of the museum," as part of a workers' strike that began on February 26.

"This is a painful and unwanted closure, but it is inevitable," the organization announced in a statement, adding that the SUT union has prevented visitors from entering the museum normally.

Thus, the museum has recorded a 75% drop in revenue compared to the previous year, and compared to its projected growth forecasts, it has seen a 95% drop. Given this scenario, the institution has decided to close with "the desire to transform itself into a nomadic collection with traveling exhibitions around the world." "A collection that will remain alive to become a meeting point for reflection on how to confront censorship," explained the museum team, whose driving force is journalist and businessman Tatxo Benet .

The strike began after the museum decided in January to terminate the contract with a subcontracting company that had hired seven workers, who were then rehired at other facilities in the city.

The employees decided to go to the SUT union to protest the layoffs and demand better working conditions for those who remained at the museum. In a statement, the union lamented the museum's "mixture of hypocrisy and cynicism" in rejecting their strike and explained that most visitors decided not to enter the museum after learning about the strikers' situation.
