The museum will present a large video installation at the Sala Oval (Barcelona, 1943). Created in New York City between 1980 and 1982, From the center is a fundamental work both in the artist’s career and in the history of video art. This work of great technical complexity and rich in meaning evokes the great megalithic monuments of antiquity, is an electronic "Stonehenge", in the words of the artist. Due to its quality and importance in the historical perspective of Catalan contemporary art, the Generalitat has recently acquired it for the National Collection of Contemporary Art and is already part of the MNAC collections.
The twelve monoliths in a circle form a large transient panorama and offer a total of partial visions that, as a whole, represent a unique and complete contemplation of the world. The filming of all the images was made over two years from a single fixed point on the roof of a building in the center of Manhattan, on the Broadway corner of the Grand St. George. The sounds and music of each of the twelve channels were created by the artist, musician and sound pioneer Peter Van Riper (1942-1998). The sum of the twelve video and sound channels generate an intense and complex space.

At Park G&uuml;ell, the main attractions are basically just the colonnaded walkway, the candy house at the main entrance, and the plaza. Aside from that, it&#39;s like any other hike. Therefore, it&#39;s recommended to take photos at the main entrance first, then leisurely explore the rest of the park to avoid crowds. About an hour should be sufficient for the entire hike.

This is a tourist attraction that even people who aren&#39;t particularly interested in architecture will find interesting because it&#39;s truly dreamy and beautiful, perfect for taking great photos, and the description is also very detailed and won&#39;t be boring.

La Pedrera – Casa Milà

Casa Mil&agrave; is a fantastic place to visit in Barcelona. The audio guide is very informative and the staff are really friendly and helpful throughout. The rooftop and the views was a highlight for me!

I was impressed by the Picasso Museum, especially the evolution of his work from his teenage years to his maturity. My favorites are his blue period and cubism, and I can feel the expression of his emotions and the uniqueness of his creations when I appreciate it. The museum&rsquo;s architecture is also charming, with a sense of history in the five ancient palaces. Although there are many exhibits in the museum, the layout is reasonable and it doesn&rsquo;t look crowded. If you are interested in art, this is definitely a place worth exploring in depth

The National Museum of Art of Catalonia is a major museum in Barcelona, Spain, and one of the largest museums in the region. The museum&rsquo;s design extends the new Baroque architecture to an unprecedented scale. The terrace of the museum is the high ground of Barcelona. Overlooking Plaza de Espa&ntilde;a and the Venice Twin Towers, the most impressive are the locals, relaxed, laid back and full of heat.
