O CosmoCaixa é o museu de ciência da Fundação "la Caixa", instalado num edifício modernista aos pés do Tibidabo. Fundado em 1981, foi reconstruído e reaberto com o nome atual em 2004. A sua Sala do Universo, vencedora do Kenneth Hudson Award na edição de 2021 dos European Museum of the Year Awards, conduz os visitantes do Big Bang às fronteiras do conhecimento. O percurso inclui a Floresta Inundada, um fragmento de floresta amazónica onde vivem mais de uma centena de espécies, e a Parede Geológica, composta por sete enormes secções de rocha. Exposições temporárias e um planetário completam a visita.
