ArtOpen until 3pmFrom €15Universitat (L1, L2)

Inaugurado em 1995 num edifício concebido pelo arquiteto norte-americano Richard Meier, o MACBA é o principal museu de arte contemporânea de Barcelona. A sua coleção centra-se na segunda metade do século XX e na atualidade, incluindo o Rafael Tous Fond, dedicado à arte conceptual. A programação combina apresentações rotativas da coleção com exposições temporárias individuais, cinema e som, apoiados por um centro de investigação, uma biblioteca e um arquivo no vizinho Convent dels Àngels. As obras de ampliação na Plaça dels Àngels prolongam-se até fevereiro de 2027, mas o museu continua aberto com a sua entrada habitual.
