This funding expansion addresses the costs of the new exhibition project Un museu fora del museu (A Museum Outside the Museum), an initiative not initially included in the 2026 budget. The project, part of the Public System of Visual Arts Institutions of Catalonia, seeks to foster dialogue between MACBA's heritage and local cultural venues through archival materials and selected video works from its collection.
The Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona, declared of national interest, focuses on acquiring, conserving, studying, exhibiting, and disseminating contemporary art, with a particular emphasis on Catalan artists. It also develops bibliographic and documentary resources and promotes educational activities to foster critical thinking.
The institution is recognized for its educational and accessibility programs, aligning with the general interest objectives of the Department of Culture. The activities of the MACBA Consortium, deemed of exceptional public interest, are significantly supported by this new financial contribution, crucial for its operations and projects like the one mentioned.
