Opened in 1995, it&#8217;s the city&#8217;s leading contemporary art institution and one of Barcelona&#8217;s most singular museums \u2014for its collection, its architecture and the role it has played in transforming the neighbourhood. It&#8217;s a museum that divides opinion \u2014conceptual, political and sometimes deliberately uncomfortable\u2014 and that&#8217;s exactly what makes it so stimulating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"building\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The building by Richard Meier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The building is an essential part of the visit. It was designed by American architect Richard Meier \u2014also behind the Getty Center in Los Angeles and the Ara Pacis Museum in Rome\u2014 and built between 1987 and 1995, with around 14,300 m\u00b2. Its white aesthetic, large glass surfaces, ramps instead of staircases and the natural light flooding the galleries create a space of great harmony. The contrast between this minimalist architecture and the historic Raval reinforces the idea of a dialogue between past and present. Outside, <strong>Pla\u00e7a dels \u00c0ngels<\/strong> has become one of the most famous skateboarding spots in Europe: that mix of high culture and street culture is part of the MACBA&#8217;s very ethos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-to-see\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see at the MACBA?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZhGXQ6j74l\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

It focuses on Catalan and Spanish art, but also on work from South America, the Arab world, Eastern Europe and North Africa. Among its highlights are <em>Rinzen<\/em> by Antoni T\u00e0pies, the mural <em>Together we can stop AIDS<\/em> by Keith Haring and the ceramic <em>Barcelona<\/em> by Eduardo Chillida, plus pieces by Paul Klee, Basquiat, Miquel Barcel\u00f3 and Mario Merz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Convent dels \u00c0ngels and La Capella<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MACBA isn&#8217;t just the Meier building. Across the square, the Convent dels \u00c0ngels \u2014with its 16th-century Gothic chapel, La Capella\u2014 hosts video art, installations and performances in a contrast no other museum in the city offers. La Capella is <strong>free to enter<\/strong>. The complex is completed by the Study and Documentation Centre, with a library and archive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2026: the 30th anniversary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2026 the MACBA celebrates its <strong>30th anniversary<\/strong> \u2014&#8221;Year Thirty&#8221;\u2014 with an expanded exhibition programme, so for much of the year there will be more shows running at once than usual. It&#8217;s a good time to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"hours\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the MACBA opening hours in 2026?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Days<\/th><th>Hours<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Monday, Wednesday, Thursday &amp; Friday<\/td><td>11:00 \u2013 19:30 (to 20:00 in summer)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Saturday<\/td><td>10:00 \u2013 20:00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sundays &amp; public holidays<\/td><td>10:00 \u2013 15:00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tuesday<\/td><td>Closed (except holidays)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Note: the MACBA closes on <strong>Tuesdays<\/strong>, not Mondays.

Sit with one piece for a few minutes and the visit changes completely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buy online: it&#8217;s slightly cheaper (\u20ac10.80 vs \u20ac12) and skips the queue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t miss La Capella, in the Convent dels \u00c0ngels, free to enter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For free entry, go on Saturdays from 4:00 pm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Combine your visit with the CCCB (a few metres away), Las Ramblas, La Boqueria or the Gothic Quarter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"nearby\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see near the MACBA in the

It&#8217;s free for under-age visitors (depending on age), the unemployed, over-65s and other groups, and for everyone on Saturdays from 4:00 pm. It&#8217;s also included in the Articket and the Barcelona Card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the MACBA opening hours?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It opens Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 11:00 to 19:30 (to 20:00 in summer), Saturdays from 10:00 to 20:00 and Sundays and public holidays from 10:00 to 15:00. It closes on Tuesdays (except holidays).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What day is the MACBA closed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MACBA closes on Tuesdays, unlike most Barcelona museums, which close on Mondays. It&#8217;s worth bearing in mind when planning your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who designed the MACBA building?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">American architect Richard Meier, also behind the Getty Center in Los Angeles and the Ara Pacis Museum in Rome. The white building, built between 1987 and 1995, is considered one of the finest examples of modern institutional architecture in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you get to the MACBA?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nearest metro is Universitat (lines 1 and 2), a 5-7 minute walk; Catalunya and Liceu (L3) also work. It&#8217;s a 5-minute walk from Las Ramblas and 10 from the Gothic Quarter. Many bus lines stop nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"inLanguage\": \"en\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"How much does it cost to enter the MACBA?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"General admission costs 12 euros on-site and 10.80 euros online, and is valid for a full month with unlimited visits to the collection and all exhibitions.
