Joe CooperDecember 26, 2014Definitely 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 LefevreAugust 26, 2014Catch 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 FulanaDecember 10, 2014a 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
Oh-Barcelona.comOctober 11, 2010A 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
Jackie MucilliFebruary 24, 2015The 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 RouseOctober 5, 2016Shame 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 WelteJune 20, 2017When 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 TépozMarch 10, 2017Located 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 BarcelonaNovember 5, 2014Designed 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
Bálint LiptaySeptember 16, 2016i 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.comOctober 26, 2011Also 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 EngberNovember 17, 2014Fascinating 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.
APPARTSHOWROOMSeptember 13, 2013After visit MACBA find art KM. 0 at our art showroom at Notariat, 3. Today 13/09/13 at 19:00 h. opening of Jordi Santacana painting. Have time with the artist in APPARTSHOWROOM having a MORITZ beer.
Vanessa RuedaSeptember 17, 2015impeccable curation, texts, artworks, bookstore and personal. I love this museum. A must if you like contemporary, conceptual art
saigeJune 15, 2017Thoughtfully designed exhibits highlighting art, architecture, and sociologically important trends & ideas. Loved it.
Gianfranco LanzioApril 26, 2015Great contemporary museum. A lot of different exhibitions and mesmerising architecture inside. Chill outside and watch the skaters do their tricks while you wait outside.- Christian KatarnSeptember 22, 2014Designed by starchitect Richard Meier, this contemporary art museum is a must see if you are in town. The square in front is full of skaters and young people.

- Apartment BarcelonaJanuary 17, 2014For those who prefer a more modern twist to art, be sure to make your way to the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, also known as the MACBA.
AnastasiaAugust 29, 2014I like this place and will visit in future. Not so crowded and lots of things and art it's nice to think of there.
Annija SpēkaOctober 13, 2018Definitely worth the visit. It’s free on Saturday (16:00-19:00). Use this opportunity!
Anya GregoryFebruary 1, 2016Interesting exhibits, great architecture, and the surrounding plaza is fun for people watching.
Julian BleeckerNovember 10, 2010They 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.
Adrian AlvaAugust 9, 2019Museum is great, close by to CCCB, bars and coffee bear. If you skate, this is your spot.- Apartment BarcelonaOctober 17, 2012For those who prefer a modern twist to art...the MACBA is a must! Check out one of the many temporary exhibitions...sure to leave you in awe! Read more
Fuyuhiko TakayaMarch 24, 2012"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 BanerjeeJuly 11, 2016Retain 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).
olga zeroNovember 29, 2014You 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 SomeraJanuary 2, 2019Pretty cool museum. It’s big so wear comfortable shoes. The shop is cool as well
I Wanna Go ThereAugust 4, 2011MACBA is Barcelona's Museum of Contemporary Art. It is one of the most visited museums in the city, and there are regular and temporary exhibitions. Read more
Amy RobertsonNovember 24, 2018Great political art from 1920-2000! Also some pretty intense multimedia contemporary art
Martin KuncSeptember 7, 2014Great temporary exhibitions, not very good collection of artworks in pernament exhibition. Free Wi-fi.
- Ana FedzAugust 25, 2015If you like museums ask for artpass. If you think you will come back within a year buy the yearly pass by 15€.
Stephen BainesJuly 26, 2013Check out the free and excellent street art tour of El Ravel that departs from outside MACBA daily at 5.30pm.
Justin HamNovember 26, 2012Strange yet interesting at the same time. Beautiful space too. Just keep an open mind then you will enjoy the experience.
Acomodis BarcelonaJune 3, 2011Excellent place to see modern art in Barcelona! Added bonus of rarely being crowded despite the current creative hand with curation. Read more
Ivan LojkoNovember 15, 2015Outside is a skating spot all day/night and a cool place to chill/drink w locals 😀
Tessa ColautoSeptember 14, 2011Sadly the regular exhibition was closed, but the temporary exhibitions were great and it is definitely worth a visit to this contemporary art center.
