ArchitectureArtOpen until 8pmFrom €6Espanya (Metro L1, L3)

CaixaForum Barcelona ocupa la fábrica Casaramona, una fábrica textil modernista almenada que Josep Puig i Cadafalch terminó en 1911 y que la Fundación «la Caixa» restauró antes de abrirla como centro de arte en 2002. Los visitantes acceden por la entrada de acero y vidrio de Arata Isozaki y bajan a un vestíbulo dominado por una pintura mural de Sol LeWitt. Sus galerías acogen grandes exposiciones temporales, a menudo con obras cedidas por instituciones como el British Museum, además de una instalación de Joseph Beuys perteneciente a la colección de la fundación, y ofrecen conferencias, conciertos y actividades familiares.
