Inaugurated in 1995, Barcelona’s massive contemporary art museum makes a bright statement in the dingy confines of Raval. The museum chronicles the last half of the 20th century contemporary art movement through a collection as varied and challenging as the times. Qualifying the works is a tall order, as they represent an astonishing range of visions and require a degree of interpretation that some may find bewildering, others refreshing: the art brut of Jean Dubuffet, the interactive installations of Bruce Nauman, the Surrealist paintings of Antonio Saura, the geometrical abstraction of Jorge Oteiza.... To break it down, the museum hosts frequent retrospectives on specific contemporary art movements.
