Who built Barcelona's Museum of Contemporary Art?
The MACBA is also visited for its architecture. An emblematic building designed by American architect Richard Meier. Its modernist style is characterized by clean lines and an abundance of natural light thanks to the use of large glass facades. The contrast between its white, minimalist aesthetic and the historic Raval district in which it is located reinforces the idea of a dialogue between past and present. This architecture enables a fluid experience between the exhibition spaces and the urban environment. Built between 1987 and 1995, the MACBA opened its doors on November 28, 1995.
