One Sunday a month for Mies van der Rohe
The architect’s pavilion can be seen for free on the first Sunday of every month.
You may well have passed by the Pavelló Alemany as you walked around the Font Màgica de Montjuïc, up towards the MNAC or down towards Plaça Espanya via Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina. It may well have slipped under your radar but last year marked the centenary of when it was designed for the International Exposition of Barcelona, even though it did not form part of Barcelona's cityscape until 1986, when reconstruction works were finished. There’s no better time to discover this space than the open days included in Fundació Mies van der Rohe’s activities. This way you can step into one of the most emblematic buildings in the city, one that’s truly important for 20th Century architecture.
You can enter Fundació Mies van der Rohe free of charge on the first Sunday of every month during the centre’s opening times, from 10 am to 6 pm until February and from 10 am to 8 pm starting in March. Free entry does not include guided tours of the centre. Normally, general tickets cost €7. For more information you can go to the Fundació Mies van der Rohe website.
What’s more, don't forget that there are other museums that you can visit free of charge starting from 3 pm on Sunday, such as Museu Etnològic, Castell de Montjuïc, Museu Marítim or La Virreina Centre de la Imatge. You can find more information on this link.
