The CaixaForum Exhibition Center in Barcelona
The museum is located near the Spanish Square, where it used to be a textile factory used for exhibitions and other cultural activities. The building is in the Catalan Modernism style, which has been re-planned, reorganized, and equipped with modern facilities to transform into an art gallery and cultural plaza, where the classical and modern are cleverly integrated. At the entrance, in addition to admiring the beauty of the original brick building, one is also attracted by the modern huge glass canopy, following the circulation to enter the museum. Inside the museum, various exhibitions require an additional fee, but one can also enter the museum for free to appreciate the architectural art of the red brick factory.
From March to June, there was a very wonderful exhibition held here, displaying collections that had been exhibited at the Phillips Collection in the United States from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. If you like Monet, Manet, Braque, Picasso, Cézanne, Modigliani, or Kaplinsky, this exhibition would be very suitable for you to see! Ticket price is four euros! There is also a café/restaurant where you can have lunch or snacks. Don't miss it!
