Museums & exhibition centres
El Born Centre de Cultura i Memòria is a unique and exceptional place that brings together three centuries of our history. Below the cast-iron structure of the iconic 19th century marketplace lies the Barcelona of 1700, the prosperous city that suffered the siege of 1714 and that put up an epic and heroic resistance before Catalonia's national liberties were eventually lost, yet to be restored three centuries later.
The MEAM is located in the Palau Gomis, a unique 18th-century neoclassical building in the Born district, which is one of Barcelona's key tourist and cultural sites.
The Fundació Antoni Tàpies is housed in one of Barcelona's most important modernista landmarks, designed by
Lluís Domènech i Montaner, and showcases one of the largest collections of art works by the Catalan artist.
The galleries of the Fundació Fran Daurel opened in 2001 in the Poble Espanyol, or Spanish Village, on Montjuïc Hill.
The Fundació Joan Miró is located in Montjuïc Park in a magnificent Mediterranean-style building designed by Josep Lluís Sert, and houses the most important public collection of works by Joan Miró.
