The Centre de Cultura Contemporània runs thematic shows on cities, society, film and ideas inside a converted almshouse with a striking mirrored courtyard wall. It's where switched-on locals and students go. The catch: there's no permanent collection — it's all temporary, so it's hit-or-miss depending on what's on, and it skews cerebral.
The CCCB opened in 1994 in the former Casa de Caritat and programmes only temporary, theme-based exhibitions on contemporary culture and urban life. · model-knowledge
