The artist himself, Antoni Tapies, created this centre in 1984 as a place in which to study contemporary art, and its library has become one of the most important of its kind in the world. It exhibits a large collection of his drawings, paintings, sculptures and engravings and organizes regular temporary exhibitions as well. The building dates from 1880, a work by modernist architect Lluis Domenech i Montaner, and it was headquarters to the prestigious publishing house, Editorial Muntaner i Simon, until the 1970s. Look up above the entrance to see one of Tapies's avant-garde sculptures. Admission: EUR 4.20, students & senior citizens: EUR 2.10.

  • The artwork is incredible and the gallery well lit, modern and architecturally interesting.
  • Most of his posters were sold out:-)

“This is one of the finest modern art museums I've seen anywhere. Antoni Tapies is well known in Europe but not popularly known in the US. His artwork stunned me beyond words. He's fabulous. His paintings are huge in scale.He in fact, is the reason I have started painting myself. I plan to go back to Barcelona eventually and this will be the first place I visit. In the neigborhood you can also see many Antoni Gaudi buildings, which are unique only to Barcelona and worth the trip alone.”
