Open Museum Night in Barcelona 15-05-10

Last Saturday was a night where most of the museums in Barcelona were opened to the public! Obviously the first type of museum that comes to your mind is the Picasso, Caixa Forum in Placa Espanya, CCCB... ... but think outside the 'touristic box'! There are crazy science museums with mad performance and even magic shows! Here's a list of the museums opened last weekend. Click on the images below to get more information about the event! Or click here for videos CaixaForum CCCB-Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona CosmoCaixa Fundació Joan Miró Fundació Antoni Tàpies Jardí Botànic de Barcelona La Capella La Pedrera - Fundació Caixa Catalunya La Virreina MACBA-Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona Museu Barbier-Mueller d’Art Precolombí Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya Museu d’Història de Catalunya MHCB-Museu d’Història de la ciutat de Barcelona Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona Museu de la Música Museu Etnológic Museu Frederic Marés MMB-Museu Marítim de Barcelona MNAC-Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya Museu Picasso To avoid the impossible queues and overcrowded 'hot spots', my friends and I went to visit CosmoCaixa where they exhibited science and magic. It's actually just 5 mins walking from our Uni! It was simply mind blowing and unforgettable..!! Everything you have never thought of were there! They compared brains, did illusion experiments, had magic shows and most amazingly they had a real AMAZON. At the bottom of the building, they made an indoor amazon where birds and inserts were free and it was always raining! I'm still angry at myself for not bringing a camera... It was one of the funniest nights I had in Barcelona, it's really cool to have these trips with friends and not go to bars and clubs on a Sat night for a change. ; ) The next open night will be on the 31st of May, so don't miss it! Here are some pictures of CosmoCaixa, a place worth visiting on any day
