There are 2 exhibitions on in Barcelona worth the trip. I checked the dates, the venues and the opening hours one by one, on the museums’ own pages.
Last checked: 21 September 2026
20 February to 4 October 2026
This show tells the story of the so-called Francoist deposits: artworks seized during and after the Spanish Civil War that ended up in MNAC’s storerooms, often without visitors knowing their origin. Small, but it faces a rarely explained part of the museum’s history.
14 February 2026 to 17 January 2027
The Palestinian duo’s first show in Spain centres on an audiovisual installation about former Palestinian prisoners and the songs and poems with which they held out. Around it are earlier works across image, sound and text. Extended until January.
One exhibition that has not opened yet, but whose dates are already announced.
9 October 2026 to 28 February 2027
The first exhibition in Spain on Charlotte Perriand, the designer who joined Le Corbusier’s studio as an author rather than an assistant. The thread is her friendship with Josep Lluís Sert, whom she met there in 1928, the architect who later designed this building.
It is always these 5, and I check them one by one. When a venue has nothing on I say so, with the date I checked: it is something you would otherwise have to look up museum by museum.
