Description

CaixaForum Museum was created by distinguished Catalan architect Puig i Cadafalch. It is unusual because its original function was as a textile factory and this adds to the center's utilitarian presence. The CaixaForum's open auditorium accommodates those attracted to its seminars and cultural events with many international big shots like Bill Clinton, Mikhail S. Gorbachev, Bono and Noam Chomsky. Its Foundations Contemporary Art Collection is a must-see while in Barcelona.
