About

La Vir­reina Cen­tre de la Imatge: pic­ture an 18th-cen­tu­ry palace trans­formed into a space for di­a­logue be­tween clas­sic ar­chi­tec­ture and cut­ting-edge vi­su­al art. That's La Vir­reina. The build­ing it­self is breath­tak­ing, with light pour­ing through mas­sive win­dows to il­lu­mi­nate the ever-chang­ing pho­tog­ra­phy and art ex­hi­bi­tions. La Vir­reina does­n't shy away from chal­leng­ing top­ics, show­cas­ing every­thing from pow­er­ful pho­to­jour­nal­ism to im­mer­sive in­stal­la­tions that make you see the world dif­fer­ent­ly. A stone's throw from the Liceu metro sta­tion, it's a con­ve­nient stop if you're ex­plor­ing La Ram­bla and an ab­solute must for any­one in­ter­est­ed in ex­pe­ri­enc­ing Barcelon­a's con­tem­po­rary art scene.
