Exhibition message: "When water occupies areas that are usually free, we speak of floods; events that have occurred throughout history and with which humans have had to face and learn to fight." "The overflow of the river, the Ripoll, the tragic night of September 25, 1962, marked a before and after in its relationship with the population of the Vallès and also with the inhabitants of Ripollet." "It had been raining all afternoon. In the evening the lights went out and the rain continued to fall. Many families went to sleep. Suddenly the rain fell so intensely that the riverbed and the streams overflowed, taking everything in its path: houses, objects, logs, stones, and people."
