MACBA
Museum of Contemporary Art
The Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art is situated in the once
shabby Raval district just off La Ramblas. Over the years its front
plaza has become synonymous with international skateboarders, being
fondly known as the famous MACBA, drawing skaters and creatives
from around the world to unite against the backdrop of its chic
white building. Being a work of art in itself, the Museum of
Contemporary Art was designed to monopolise on natural light and
the cool airy interiors confidently hold the works of modern art
luminaries such as Basquiat, Klee, Tàpies and
Barcelò. A perfect union of two art forms, MACBA and her
throng of talented skateboarders is a sight to be experienced.
