Can Framis Museum — Attraction in Barcelona

Excellent modern art collection!

Catalan and Spanish painting from 20th and 21st century, a private collection and a skillful selection of the exposed works.

There is definitely a sense of Catalonian pride. All of the artists are local and painting/sculpting for a Spanish audience. The bathrooms are gender neutral and you can get a decent espresso from a coin operated vending machine on the third floor. Worth the 7 euros (2 euros if you can prove that you are a professor or are...
