One of the best art galleries I have been to. Earlier in the day we went to the Picasso gallery which was ok and also the MOCO gallery that was overpriced, small and disappointing having been to the one in Amsterdam. At a bargain €12 and spread over three floors it was excellent. Don't be put off with the word modern in the title of the museum, it is not modern art as the Tate gallery in London. There was fantastic thought provoking art and sculptures throughout. On the top floor there was a series of paintings by Haitz de Diego depicting the war of Syria each with a brief poem /explanation of the art. The other two floors were for me spell binding at each turn. We did not need to pre book and the art gallery was quiet with plenty of room to admire the exhibits. I did buy the book of the exhibits as a reminder of a great day to reminis over the cold winter days.

We actually went to this museum by accident. We had been trying to find MOCO. We didn’t regret it for a minute. There is currently an exhibition on by Mark Tennant which is excellent. I believe it ends May 12th. The other exhibits were just amazing. I’m no art specialist but it was hard to tell what were photographs and what was painted or drawn. Incredible work. Very close to the Picasso museum. €13 entry.

The exhibition of modern portraits and the 25 year anniversary works from their permanent collection (showing summer 2024) were excellent. I would definitely visit again to see what their curators have chosen to show. One of the best smaller museums to visit in Barcelona and relatively uncrowded to others.
