  We present a new supergiant-rich stellar cluster hidden by extinction and
christen it as Barb\'a 2, in honor of its discoverer Rodolfo Barb\'a. The
cluster is at a distance of $7.39^{+0.65}_{-0.55}$ kpc and contains several
supergiants, of which we provide spectral classifications for one blue, one
yellow, and five red ones. The cluster extinction indicates an above-average
grain-size ($R_{5495} \sim 3.7$), its age has a minimum value of 10 Ma, and its
core radius is $0.84\pm0.19$ pc.
