If you are interested in contemporary art, then this must be on your list. It was quite difficult to find - we walked for miles - but worth it. More

Personally I did not like the art in here, only two floor were open (mostly empty too) and it's full of modern / contemporary art (I'm not sure what the difference really is). Unless you're really into that sort of thing don't spend your money here, as an example of some of the hi-lights there is a piece of packaging... More

Even though recently passed away, Antoni Tapies has made his fame as one of the most important contemporary artists coming from Barcelona. This place is a good start to get to know his ideas and thoughts and to see his work whether you like this or not. One of the first to use everyday objects (e.g. for cooking) and construction...

A superb small scale modern art venue that also show cases Antoni Tapies' work. Curatorship of temporary shows is international, the building- topped by a huge wire sculpture- is superb- an old modernista publishing house. a few steps from Gaudi's buildings. More
