“Modern Masters” Exhibition at Moco Museum Barcelona

Since opening its doors in the heart of Barcelona’s Born neighbourhood, Moco Museum has dedicated its exhibitions to great artists. In this case, it is dedicated to those who left rules behind, demanded the impossible with a unique voice and identity, and broke with the artistic norms established in their time.

Each artist shows a very particular vision of the world, but they all have something in common: turning art into a tool not only to represent their reality, but also to question it.

Visitors will discover Warhol pieces portraying the chimera of fame and consumerism. Basquiat is presented with his raw, symbolic and direct vision and his themes: race and power. With his dynamic, faceless mythological lines, Haring reminds art that it must be free and accessible. Kusama changes the room with her universe of dots and infinite pumpkins. And Dalí, after all, continues to make an appearance with sculptures saturated with desire and the subconscious. It is an invitation to see beyond the superficial.

Barcelona feels different in summer. The pace slows down, the sun beats down and, suddenly, we are all looking for the same thing: water, shade and a good excuse not to move around too much.

And yes, there are more options than you think. From public swimming pools with city views to rooftops with a cocktail in hand and a good atmosphere. Here is a list of pools that are truly worthwhile, whether you are looking for a quiet time or want to spend the day in full relaxation mode.
