Just minutes from Passeig de Gràcia, the Museu Tàpies bridges the gap between the Modernist Barcelona of Lluís Domènech i Montaner—a great master of Catalan Modernism alongside Gaudí—and the contemporary Barcelona of Antoni Tàpies. Housed in one of the Eixample’s earliest Modernist buildings, a stone’s throw from Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, it offers a unique experience where architecture, heritage, and contemporary creativity engage in a dialogue within the same space.
Established by Antoni Tàpies to preserve and share his legacy, the museum invites visitors to explore the evolution of his work through exhibitions that trace the various stages of his artistic career, alongside a program featuring prominent Catalan and international artists. The visit is complemented by distinctive spaces—such as the specialized library—and by *Núvol i cadira* (Cloud and Chair), the iconic sculpture crowning the building that has become one of the museum’s most recognizable symbols.
A must-visit destination to discover a side of Barcelona that unites heritage, architecture, and contemporary creativity in the very heart of the Eixample.
