CaixaForum Barcelona

My rating: 3.5 stars

+ The CaixaForum is an exhibition house. Sometimes, there are really great and interesting ones…

- … and sometimes, the exhibitions are regional in nature, more aimed at the local Barcelonians or Catalonians.

A history of CaixaForum

Josep Puig i Cadafalch completed the Casaramona factory in 1911 and received an award for creating the best industrial building of the year.
During the World’s Fair of 1929, the factory was used as a warehouse, and from 1940 onward, the National Police used it as a garage for its many vehicles.
Caixa purchased the building in 1963 and decided to make use of its artistic background in 1992, when its conversion began, turning it into a place of culture and social education.

Other buildings of Cadafalch:
Casa de les Punxes
Casa Amatller
