Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona
The CCCB examines cities, public space and contemporary culture through exhibitions and events in El Raval. Its changing programme makes the theme of the current show the main reason to enter.
Why go
Here, contemporary culture is treated as a question about how people live together, rather than as an art collection alone. Exhibitions sit alongside debates, film and other events, and part of the centre occupies the former Casa de Caritat. It is especially useful beside MACBA: the two neighbours let you compare art on display with ideas about urban life.
What to look for
The centre's exhibitions often focus on cities and public space.
The CCCB incorporates part of the former Casa de Caritat.
