Leave the busy streets of Barcelona behind you and visit Barcelona's museum of modern art. MACBA is short for Museu d'Art Contemprani de Barcelona. A triumph of modernist architectgure, MACBA can be found on the Raval, and displays art exhibitions from the 20th century onwards.
The history of the museum goes back to 1959 when art critic Alexandre Cirici Pellicer championed the idea of creating a museum of contemporary art in Barcelona.
