Catch 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.
a 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
Shame 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.
When 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!
