Fue una gran experiencia encontrar este museo. Lo vimos al pasar y nos llamó la atención porque solo presenta de arte figurativo, lo que es muy raro de ver en arte contemporáneo. Es un edificio histórico muy bien mantenido. Destacan las piezas escultóricas. De primera.

Vale la pena visitar el MEAM para disfrutar de sus instalaciones y de la impresionante colección de pintura y escultura figurativa contemporánea. Los conciertos ofrecidos en la sala principal son una buena alternativa al bullicio de las calles que rodean este maravilloso palacio.

"El museo es una obra viva y cambiante gracias a las nuevas adquisiciones del dueño, que expone obras de numerosos artistas contemporáneos, que me ha enamorado.

A veces conmovedor, otras veces irónico y disimulador, para los amantes del arte moderno el MEAM es una visita imperdible"

"Un museo con hermosas pinturas y esculturas. Una visita en la tranquilidad que le permite admirar las obras en silencio. Que bellas cosas Lo prefiero antes que el Museo Picasso. ¡Entre los 2, el MEAM sin duda!"

"Si hay un museo que no se puede perder en Barcelona, ?? es este lugar. Contiene tesoros del arte internacional contemporáneo (ni demasiado clásico ni demasiado moderno). Si te gusta el arte, debes ver este museo. Artistas estadounidenses, italianos, españoles y franceses están representados. Se encuentra a 20 metros del Museo Picasso."
