MCBA is holding two open days to celebrate the completion of the museum's stunning new building, designed by the Barcelona-based architects Barozzi Veiga. Visitors are warmly invited to engage with the new building's Sense of Place: come and lose themselves in the vast spaces, explore the exhibition rooms, venture into the corridors, enjoy the light-filled halls, study every detail and every material, and make the museum their own.
