Wondering if you should visit Barcelona's Contemporary Art Museum?  I visit the MACBA to help you decide if it's worth it for your next trip to Barcelona.

🏛️ Since 1995 the Contemporary Art Museum of Barcelona, or, MACBA as it is more commonly known, has strived to bring art to life by using contemporary art to forge the future.  In the lead up to the 1992 Olympic Games Barcelona hosted a Cultural Olympics that sought to change the narrative of the city that lacked newer installations and monuments.  The mayor at the time, elected to hire architects known around the world, giving the movement more of an international appeal.  Richard Meier was chosen to head the project for a contemporary art museum that would be placed within the old city.   The museum is composed of two separate installations; the 16th century Convent dels Àngels and the main section, known as the Meier building, with its modern/rationalist design that provides a stark contrast to the more dated buildings of the Raval neighborhood.  Built between 1991 and 1995 the museum wasn’t ready for ahead of the Games but has become one of the more popular museums in the city and its permanent collection houses over 5,000 pieces of artwork.
