CaixaForum Barcelona is a cultural center that lives in the building of the old Casaramona, a modernist-style textile factory designed by Josep Puig Cadafalch at the beginning of the 20th century, one of the most prominent architects of modernism, along with Lluís Domènech and Montaner and Antoni Gaudi. The extensive programming of exhibitions and cultural and educational activities aimed at all audiences responds to the defense of access and dissemination of culture.
