If you're looking for contemporary art in Barcelona in a one-of-a-kind setting, Poble Espanyol will take you by surprise. It has a museum exhibiting works by Picasso, Dalí and Miró, among others. But that's not all...

A PRECIOUS CONTEMPORARY ART COLLECTION

Can you imagine a place where you can admire works by Picasso, Dalí and Miró all under the same roof?

It exists: the Fran Daurel Museum, a reference point for contemporary art in Barcelona, ​​located in the heart of Poble Espanyol.

But this museum offers so much more. The collection also includes works by other great masters of the 20th century such as Antoni Tàpies, Óscar Domínguez (from the
Canary Islands), Miquel Barceló (from the Balearic Islands) and Eduardo Chillida (from Donostia, in Northern Spain). Here you can learn a little more about our three exhibition
spaces and the treasures that you can discover in them.

A FOREST TURNED INTO A SCULPTURE

Is a starking and startling place that contrasts with the traditional style of its exterior.

This area is dedicated to one of the great works of sculpture by the Catalan artist Josep Guinovart: Contorn-Entorn (1976).

It was installed in Poble Espanyol at the beginning of 21st century after having been exhibited in the Maeght Gallery and in the Barcelona Modern Art Museum of Barcelona. This artwork has found in Poble Espanyol the ideal place to be observed as it really deserves. It is a masterpiece of the informalist movement that sometimes shares space with temporary exhibitions by other artists.
