Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona

Nice place for modern art, with a restaurant and a bookstore, the exhibition that I visited was very well done, good quality of the images and a a good panelling. The information in English was missing most of the times, but I think it was available audio on you phone by scanning a qr code. Anyway, for the price paid a I had a very good experience.

I like the Amazons -- the Ancestral Future Exhibition 🌳 Rich in text, images, sounds, work materials, and even taste! The last video is worth sitting down and watching, breathing, and experiencing~

During our holiday to Barcelona we visited the Amazon exhibition. It was a very interesting exhibition with a range of displays. The tickets were good value for money.

The Barcelona Centre for Contemporary Culture was hosting 2 exhibitions - one was on the background, history and psyche of the American Dream while the second was on Agnes Varda, a photograph and film extraordinaire. The former was quite fascinating to know the dark undertones of the American Dream. Was not able to appreciate the latter as there was limited information in English

Wow! This was only 4 euros for students but I definitely would have paid the 6 euro standard price. I visited the new exhibit on ‘Suburbia: Building the American Dream’. The exhibit was massive and packed with so much interesting stuff, genuinely one of the best expositions I have ever seen around the world. I’m so surprised such a fantastic exposition centred around American suburbia is in Barcelona. Please visit this exposition, it’s really interesting and definitely worth it.

This is now my favorite arts center in Europe. I went to see the exhibition "Sade: Freedom or Evil", and fell in love with this gorgeous space. So modern and spacious inside and yet in a space with a lot of history. Right beside MACBA. The cafe is nice, too, and serves drinks, and the bookstore is friendly. Very cool.

I visited the AI: Artificial Intelligence exhibition, and I definitely recommend it. There is so much to explore: installations, machine replicas, original books and letters, 3D printed body parts, robots, and much more. You need at least one hour in order to fully enjoy it.
