Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA)

When Richard Meier’s blindingly white MACBA opened in 1995, it was dubbed the pearl of the Raval, a formerly crime-ridden neighborhood. Today, it houses a permanent collection of post-1940's international art and various temporary exhibits. The museum is also known as a pilgrimage site for skateboarders who roll and pose throughout the museum’s front plaza.
