Definitely an interesting museum to visit. Be sure to check out the replica Keith Haring mural outside (you don't have to buy a ticket to see it).

Remi Lefevre

Catch a break from the downtown heat with some local contemporary art : the building itself justifies a visit. Whilst collections vary in quality, there is always more than one so you can't go wrong.

Maria Fulana

a place to spend a day, Macba has an amazing collection. Also u can get a coffee around, there's a keith haring painting . macba store full of nice publications & products, as the others stores around

A meeting place for the city 's skaters and a top-class modern art museum . The exhibition by Konrad and Dorothee Fischer, in particular, is worth visiting and the building itself is a work of art . Read more

The building itself is really cool. The art is kind of weird, but worth checking out if you're interested in contemporary art . Free wifi .

Jen Rouse

Shame both ground and top floors were closed when I visited, made €10 seem a bit steep. But the building is beautiful and a few pieces were really great. Wifi code included on your ticket.

Matthias Welte

When it's closed you will meet hundreds of young people on the plaza dancing to hiphop or skateboarding or just hanging around and drinking beer . Awesome!

Mariana Tépoz

Located at the Raval, this museum is a great example of Richard Meier 's architecture . Always changing expositions of modern art . Is worth the visit.

Apartment Barcelona

Designed by New York architect Richard Meier and established in the inner city Raval neighbourhood, it´s likened to the largest Russian doll; it’s a work of art that contains many more inside. Read more

i was just about to loose all my trust of art institutions generally, but MACBA gave me an example that Museums still can have an important role in my life and in the society.

DHR.com

Also known as MACBA, this is one of Barcelona's best museums . Has impressive collections from the mid-20th century to present. Stop by the Special Collections and Library Reading rooms.

Hanniee Engber

Fascinating exhibits and they have guided tours for free (in english too)! Admission is worth the price. There are nice info pamphlets for each exhibit too.

Great contemporary museum . A lot of different exhibitions and mesmerising architecture inside. Chill outside and watch the skaters do their tricks while you wait outside.

They say this is the hot skateboard spot. Being from Venice CA I'm spoiled cause 3 visits left me super unimpressed. Oh well - the locals clearly love it. A couple of cool friendly skate shops nearby.

"This museum is located centre of Barcelona. So that I recommend to visit from 10 AM to 13:00 - 14:00 PM (before lunch time) on Sunday. Use time efficiently!!"

Ankur Banerjee

Retain your entry ticket pass, as it contains the wifi password for the free "MACBA" network to connect to. Lockers available which require €1 deposit (returned when you empty the locker).

Cherry Adam

The Punk exhibition is amazing. Don't miss it!

olga zero

You might find some interesting temporary exhibitions . The last floor is hard to digest though! Conceptual stuff is not easy for "normal people". Maybe the curators could have made it lighter?

Dan Mondragón Somera

Pretty cool museum . It’s big so wear comfortable shoes . The shop is cool as well

Dougie Shirlaw

Book online to visit on a Saturday for free.
