Yan Zhou
★★★★★a year agoThe Antoni Tàpies Foundation in Barcelona is housed in a building designed by Montaner, with the steel wire sculpture on the roof created by Tàpies himself. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The library upstairs has a charming, vintage feel and is quite unique. While I’m personally not a big fan of modern art, the building itself is impressive. This place is definitely worth a visit for fans of Antoni Tàpies and modern art enthusiasts.

★★★★★a year agoInsanely good gallery, 100% worth the admission with some truly mind provoking pieces. It's not big, but definitely stands out among most of the other art places in Barcelona.
