CaixaForum Barcelona

What a lovely treasure of a place. We visited two exhibitions that were on (they rotate) and both were fascinating and interesting. We came mainly to see the space (a former factory but looks more like a palace!) and it doesn’t disappoint. It’s been beautifully restored with great care. The staff were great including the lovely lady in the restaurant. Follow the signs to the terrace for some great views too. Entrance to exhibitions is €6 but you can walk around the space for free.

Nice space and nice exhibits. I went specifically to one of Alice in Wonderland. The exhibit was okay with some interactive things and scenarios

Regardless of whether you like the layout of the exhibition, you should first pay attention to the architectural solutions (combining the old and the new) with details that deserve praise for their creative simplicity. For example "canopy" above the stairs or video wall in the wide lower level. Compliments also go to the interior designer. The space is multifunctional, which gives it liveliness, and different thematic contents are offered, so everyone can find something for themselves. It's worth your time.

Fantastic views from the rooftop, but also beautiful modern art museum hosted in an old textile factory. Very spacious and great lighting for photos.

CaixaForum is a vibrant and well-structured museum built into an old modernist textile mill. During my visit the main exhibitions were "The Human Image" and "Expanded Visions", which were a more traditional art/artifact display and experimental photography display respectively. I especially enjoyed The Human Image, which takes seemingly disparate pieces and presents them in sections exploring themes of bodily perfection, deification, gender expression, and more. There are also some smaller exhibits and activities depending on when you go, and you can of course explore the textile mill itself. For just 6€ I spent 3 hours here, and got a lot out of my time. Highly recommend.

Situated in an old factory, the space is very impactful and worth a visit (tickets are €6 for adults)! Considering how huge the structure is, I was surprised to find out there was only one exhibition to see (we went for the one on tattoos), but at least they provided portable stools to take around with you, which I appreciated very much! There is a cafe & restaurant available inside. A bit over priced if you ask me but inside a beautifully curated space. Ps. I would definitely take the lift to the rooftop to enjoy the views

During my recent visit to Barcelona, I had the pleasure of exploring CaixaForum, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. This architectural gem nestled in the heart of the city is a captivating blend of old and new, seamlessly combining historic elements with modern design. As soon as I entered CaixaForum Barcelona, I was immediately struck by the stunning interiors. The spacious exhibition halls with their high ceilings and abundant natural light created an inviting ambiance that perfectly complemented the artwork on display. The attention to detail in the restoration of the building is commendable, preserving its historical significance while transforming it into a vibrant cultural center. The art exhibitions at CaixaForum are truly remarkable. The curatorial team has curated an eclectic range of exhibits, showcasing a diverse collection of contemporary art, photography, and multimedia installations. From thought-provoking installations to engaging interactive displays, every corner of the museum was brimming with creativity and innovation. One of the highlights of my visit was the immersive nature of the exhibitions. The museum offers a unique opportunity to not only view art but also to actively participate and engage with the works. The interactive elements, such as virtual reality experiences and multimedia presentations, added a new dimension to my understanding and appreciation of the art. The cultural programming at CaixaForum is another aspect that sets it apart. The museum hosts a rich variety of events, including concerts, film screenings, lectures, and workshops. These activities provide a holistic experience and further enrich the visit, catering to a wide range of interests and ensuring there is always something new and exciting to discover. The staff at CaixaForum deserves special recognition for their professionalism and warmth. Their deep knowledge and passion for the art and exhibitions were evident in their interactions with visitors. They were readily available to answer questions, offer insights, and provide guidance, making the experience even more enjoyable and fulfilling. The amenities and facilities at CaixaForum are top-notch. The café offers a delightful selection of refreshments and snacks, providing a pleasant respite during the visit. The gift shop is also a treasure trove of artistic treasures, offering unique souvenirs and beautifully curated art-related merchandise. In conclusion, CaixaForum Barcelona is a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts, culture seekers, and anyone looking for a memorable and enriching experience in Barcelona. With its exceptional art exhibitions, immersive displays, engaging cultural events, and outstanding staff, this cultural hub offers a true feast for the senses. I left CaixaForum inspired, enlightened, and eager to return to delve deeper into the world of art and creativity.

Must Go! With friends, family, kids or as a couple. An amazing interactive and educational museum! Absolutely amazing. I will go back for sure
