You must have noticed the grand old building at the lower end of Las Ramblas by now. It’s the building, which once stood as the old convent of Santa Monica back in the 1600s. With a striking access slope, enabling privileged spectators to gaze out at the clamour of the street which lies in front, Santa Monica is a prime institute of the Arts in Barcelona.

Forget the distraction of the building for a minute and take note of the crossover from religious residence of divinity, to disciplined abode of contemporary artistic communication. With an impressive programme which is specifically set to follow the rhythm of the seasons, allow instruments of scientific thought and creation parade you through bounds of thought and communication.

The gallery also has strong ties with local universities and academic institutes, for the purpose of the production and presentation of art, which acts as a dialogue between local establishment and local voice.
