| Last reviewed: Jun 2026 The Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, opened in 1995 in Richard Meier's luminous building, anchors Raval's cultural life with a serious collection and bold temporary shows. Its plaza is the social heart of the quarter. A genuine cultural institution worth building an afternoon around.
