MACBA is located in Barcelona’s historic old town and has more than 20,000 square meters of floor space showcasing contemporary art through permanent and temporary exhibitions. The building that houses the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art was designed by Richard Meier, which is set out on a cultural landmark.
The 2023 program explores complex visions of contemporary art through visual arts, performance, film, music or events. From 14th December 2022 to mid 2024, you can visit the MACBA Collection: Prelude, with a poetic intention.
You can also enjoy the following temporary exhibitions:
- MACBA Collection. Prelude. Poetic intention: until 15/09/2025.
- Carlos Motta. Prayers of resistance: until 26/10/25.
- Coco Fusco. I Learned to Swim on Dry Land: until 11/01/2026
The Collection starts with the 50th abstraction and follows the evolution of European pop, the avant-garde of the sixties and seventies, the centrality of the word and poetic experience, and the return of photographic figurative. In order to fulfill its educational mission, MACBA offers a series of programs and resources that help visitors to engage with its contents. There's a team of full-time educators work with the public, offering presentations and guided tours at set times and tours for groups by prior arrangement. They are also available to help the public with questions that may arise during their visit to the museum, provide information on the works displayed and comment on the exhibitions. The purpose of the museum is to become a space where knowledge is created through interaction with the artworks, a place that encourages dialogue and shared reflection among educators and the many different kinds of people who visit it.
