CaixaForum Madrid : info and guided tour

Overview of CaixaForum Madrid

CaixaForum Madrid is located on Paseo del Prado, in a former industrial building that has been transformed in the heart of Madrid. Recognizable by its brick façade and suspended volume, the venue is part of the city center’s cultural landscape and fits into the main museum axis of Madrid.

Inside, it hosts temporary exhibitions of art, design, and visual culture, with spaces designed for rotating displays. The center combines museum and cultural venue functions, making it a place for contemporary art news as well as for discovering heritage and modern creativity.

CaixaForum Madrid also offers a program of concerts, lectures, and cultural activities in rooms adapted to different formats. The building itself is part of the experience, with architecture defined by the contrast between the preserved historic structure and contemporary interventions.

Opposite the Royal Botanical Garden and close to the Museo del Prado, the venue is set within an area rich in cultural institutions. This location strengthens its role as a link between Madrid’s artistic heritage and the more contemporary expressions shown inside.
