The Barcelona edit
Your Barcelona day starts here. Today’s scheduled events appear first, followed by places, food stops and evening ideas. Check each venue’s hours before heading out.
Blurred images and unfinished forms become tools for looking differently at modern and contemporary art. CaixaForum brings together painting, photography, video and installation around the expressive possibilities of uncertainty.
Housing, mobility and neighbourhood life shape this exhibition on Barcelona’s next decade. The Casa de l’Arquitectura presents urban projects through practical questions about how the city may change.
Extinct creatures, elusive living species and imagined beings share this natural-history exhibition. It connects biodiversity with cultural memory, asking what disappears when animals can no longer be seen or studied.
Dinner above the city is followed by a science talk and an observatory visit. Check the language and menu when booking; telescope observations depend on the evening’s conditions.
The Casa de l’Arquitectura uses Barcelona to explore what makes a contemporary city. Three themes connect the people who live here with everyday relationships and the challenges of collective urban change.
An extensive 3D-printed model turns metropolitan Barcelona into a tool for understanding urban change. The accompanying display explains its construction, making the model’s craft part of the visit.
Theatre Properties brings Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical to Teatre Apolo. Maria, the Von Trapp children and the changing world around them anchor a large theatrical outing built around familiar songs.
Virginia Woolf’s argument about women, literature and independence becomes a stage performance. The Raval production draws on the wit and directness of her lectures, inviting attention to the power of the spoken text.
