ACCESS DURING THE EXPANSION WORKS
From January 2025 to February 2027, we will be working on the expansion of the museum in Plaça dels Àngels. We want your visit to be easy and comfortable: consult the means of access and come to the museum without complications! Plaça dels Àngels: it will remain open at all times, with a passageway allowing both people and service vehicles to access the square. Museum: access to the museum areas will be as usual:
– Meier Building: through the usual entrance in Plaça dels Àngels.
– Research and Documentation Centre: through the main door of the building at Plaça dels Àngels 8, which will also be used to access the Library, the Archive and the Reading and Family Space.
– Convent dels Àngels Auditorium: through the main door of the Centre for Studies and Documentation and through the door of the Capella at Carrer dels Àngels 5.
– Terrace of the Convent, Mobile Garden and Community garden: during the first few months of construction, a new exclusive entrance will be provided through Plaça de les Caramelles.
– La Capella MACBA and the other spaces of the Convent dels Àngels (Forum Space, Gothic Hall, Renaissance Hall and Auditorium): through the Capella MACBA.
– Meier Auditorium: through the usual entrance in Plaça de Joan Coromines.

*Access to Plaça dels Àngels and the museum is guaranteed for people with reduced mobility.
*Construction will not affect the academic routine of the Escola Vedruna. Plaça dels Àngels underground car park: access for vehicles and people to the Plaça dels Àngels car park will not be affected, meaning people will be able to enter and exit as normal.
