CaixaForum Barcelona is a cultural center in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Located in the Montjuïc area in a former Modernist textile factory designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, it is owned by the not-for-profit banking foundation "la Caixa".[2] After a restoration of the building, the art center opened its doors in 2002 and since then it hosts temporary art exhibitions and cultural events.[3]
