My husband and I visited the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art on a rainy afternoon during our holiday. I will be first to admit that I’m not the biggest art gallery fan, but I was pleasantly surprised. The highlight for me was the exhibition by Laura Lima, which was an ever-changing artwork concept. I spent almost an hour sat watching the different artworks being showcased, and it was as much fun to watch as it was fascinating. Overall, I had a great time at the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, and I would highly recommend a visit to see Laura Lima whilst she’s still showcasing her artwork there too!

A really interesting place to visit. When I went there were some performance based art as well, with mechanical objects dancing and moving in a large area. Definitely a unique experience and was really fun to do. Each area has the information boxes in various languages so if you're not fluent Spanish you can still understand what is going on or what the pieces are about. Really interesting and well worth the visit.

Great Museum. When entering a friendly worker greeted me and gave me a sticker to put on my clothes - the entry was for free. Current exhibition there was taking a closer look at the work and life of Nancy Holt. The exhibition was fantastically curated and I had a wonderful time. Rest of the museum was fascinating as well. Giftshop is also very playful and has a wide selection of books in particular. 5/5⭐

It would be nice to put some stickers to let people know where to start the expositions, but maybe because it doesn't really matter in the contemporany art, but yeah i felt a little bit confused during my visit. Overall, the space is big and very well organized , the themes were not really to my liking but it was a great experience. It's 3 floors and i spent almost 1h30 to visit all of it.

Good Mmuseum for contemporary art with ever changing exhibitions. Building was designed Richard Meyer Architects in the 1990s. You should have an interest in contemporary art to enjoy the visit. Saturday afternoons are free of charge. If you book online, you can skip the queue. The building is air conditioned, so it is also a good escape from the summer heat.

Awesome museum with great exhibitions! You should take some time out to look at the exhibitions calmly, they are very interesting. Exhibitions are diverse and immersive. The museum is accessible for people in wheelchairs through ramps and elevators.

I went on a open door day so lucky it was free. For me most of the things are nonsense. Strange things and I don't have the feeling there is a lot of real art. Alot of random things for sure. The building is quite big and there are alot of things to see but not really that good in my opinion.

Iast time I visited in was closed. Glad I got to see the interior which is the main attraction. The art / installation is a bit dull. But the area around and the building itself is very vibrant but I’d recommend eating closer to the port the food is better

Fun to watch skateboard culture on the front patio. Inside…myeh. Staff acts very bored. A bit off putting.

Really enjoyed my visit here. Great ambience, building is beautiful, a variety of exhibits (a bit hit or miss but generally very interesting). Would recommend. Visit time probably around 2-3 hours for €12.
