Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona \u2013 Museu d\u2019Art Contemporani de Barcelona<\/a>
\nThe expanding art collection at MACBA begins in a Gothic chapel and extends across the plaza into a glistening building of white. This museum showcases the best international, Catalan, and Spanish contemporary works of art. In addition to the temporary collections, there are also 1,600 pieces in the museum\u2019<\/a>s own collection, so they have to rotate the artwork.<\/p>\n

If you have seen Gaudi and wish to delve deeper into the architecture and artwork of other famous Catalan visionaries, here is your chance. This foundation experiments with Catalonia\u2019<\/a>s Modernist art for which the city is renowned. The building itself is a delight to behold, with Tapies designing the structure to reflect his own mind at the time. Tapies\u2019<\/a> political messages are hidden in his works; they are not easily decipherable but admirers can try to discover the meanings behind the collection.<\/p>\n

Wherever you plan on visiting during your stay, there are museums and galleries on every street corner of the city. You are sure to find one\u00a0close to your Barcelona holiday rental<\/a> that fascinates and mesmerizes.<\/p>\n
