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.

G&uuml;ell Park is full of fairy tales, and Gaudi blends nature and architecture seamlessly. The winding paths, colorful mosaic benches, and roofs like dragon&#39;s back, each detail is ingenious. The high point of the park has an excellent view, overlooking the entire Barcelona, and the scenery of the city and the sea and sky is intoxicating. Walking in the park, it feels like traveling in a dream picture, and from time to time you can meet the performances of street artists, adding a lot of life. It is a place that can enjoy the scenery and feel the artistic imagination.

One of Gaudi&#39;s three-piece suits is still worth a visit. The gold ticket has a tablet and Chinese explanation and the last VR plus no need to queue up. I feel that the price/performance ratio is quite good. You can understand more deeply.

Looking at Picasso&#39;s works again, I suddenly understood. The primitive, bold and strong things deeply attracted me and stimulated my sensory nerves! Picasso used various painting methods to express his own emotions casually. Basically, it was not purely aesthetic, but rational and abstract. He reconstructed and combined objects to bring people newer and deeper feelings!

The museum is a very popular tourist destination in Barcelona. It&#39;s quite big and majestic. It offers a stunning view of the city. Inside there is a large selection of paintings, statues and other types of art. But you can also just walk around.There are shops and cafes. Tickets can be purchased on the spot. Surrounded by a huge green park where you can walk all day.
