Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA), Barcelona

The museum itself is a stunning architectural monument to modern and post-modern design. Floors are reached by a series of sloping ramps and rooms are entered through slivers of white concrete walls. The entire effect is stark and modern. The plaza is nothing spectacular but makes a great backdrop for viewing the nearby neighborhood, just off the Rambla, with a few choice taverns and wine shops. The Ray Johnson exhibit was modest appearing but quite interesting and important in the art world, and the descriptions of the exhibit were easy to follow in English. For Seven Euros, the place was a nice contrast with the gothic hustle and bustle of the city outside. It was also very quiet, which one will greatly appreciate after a day or two in Barcelona.
