MACBA Auditorium

The Auditorium is the only MACBA public space located in the basement of the building. It was created in the Museum’s first functional refurbishment in 2004, which was to resolve the increasing demand for a space of this type.

Today’s MACBA Auditorium is located in the area that initially housed the Children’s Gallery and the Educational Service on the first floor. It is accessed through a staircase in the courtyard area behind the main building, or from inside the Museum. The capacity of the main hall is 200 people. Its acoustic absorption qualities are excellent, and the furniture can be dismantled and removed, to allow for a flexible use of the space that is suitable for lectures, films, concerts and various kinds of artistic actions.
