MACBA, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona, will begin three collection-focused events at its Plaça dels Àngels, 1 building this evening, Wednesday 16 September. The first, a Friends of MACBA visit to the museum’s artwork storage facilities, is due to run from 18:00 to 19:00 and is restricted to members; visitors and residents planning a museum visit this week can instead attend MACBA’s scheduled backstage tour on Thursday or its collections-governance session on Friday.
