CosmoCaixa
CosmoCaixa is Barcelona’s most renowned science museum and makes for an interesting visit for the entire family. The museum was created to make science fun and interesting through interactive exhibitions designed to capture your attention. CosmoCaixa opened for visitors in 1981 and holds the honor of being Spain’s first interactive science museum and is housed in a modernista building perched at the top of the upper ring of the Collserola foothills in Barcelona. Designed by famous Catalan architect Josep Domenech, the museum building was meant to function as an asylum for the blind. While the asylum closed in 1979, it was renovated into the museum while maintaining the original facade of the building.
