Do you like museums? Well, at least cool museums? We thought so. Now, do you like cheap things to do at night time? We're going to assume that's a yes. Well, you're in luck because we've got possibly the coolest way to get out of the evening heat in all of Barcelona. See, from now until the 18th of September the Museum d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, better known as MACBA, is offering visitors special night time access to their impressive collection of modern art on Thursdays and Fridays. And what's more, admission is 50% off the normal price!
MACBA is on the vanguard of the modern art scene, and there are sure to be exhibits to intrigue even the most concerting of museum goers. Current exhibits include: “On the Margins of Art. Creation and Political Engagement.”, “Time as Matter”, as well as works from the museum's permanent collection. This is a great, inexpensive way to spend a Thursday or Friday evening, so head down to Plaça dels Angels, check out MACBA and then grab a drink or a light dinner at one of the many outdoor restaurants in the area. We can't think of a much better way to spend a summer evening in Barcelona. Can you?
