The only exhibition open when we were there (on a Sunday evening) was the comics collections by Chris Ware, and wonderfully the ticket is for free. It turned out to be a truly rewarding experience.

Great place to see exhibitions and spend a Sunday afternoon. The exhibitions are always very inspiring and stay on for a few months. There is a nice inside yard where one can take the sun and enjoy watching people dancing on sunny days. If you go with kids they have activities for them to draw linked to the current exhibitions.

Truly a contemporary gallery using not only the visuals, but also sounds or other senses. Important topics that are probably often changing. 100% worth the admission price.
On Sundays from 15:00–20:00, reserve a free entry to one exhibition. In summer, book a seat at Gandules outdoor cinema for free evening screenings.
