KBr és el centre de fotografia de Fundación MAPFRE a Barcelona, inaugurat el 2020 als peus de la Torre Mapfre, al costat del Port Olímpic. El seu nom fa referència al bromur de potassi, una sal que s’utilitzava per revelar pel·lícules fotogràfiques analògiques. El centre organitza una mitjana de sis exposicions l’any en dues sales, on combina retrospectives de grans fotògrafs internacionals amb arxius catalans i KBr Flama, una mostra anual de fotògrafs emergents procedents de les escoles de Barcelona. També disposa d’una llibreria, un espai educatiu i un auditori per a conferències i tallers.
