Discover Barcelo's Sea in Barcelona
Modern art enthusiasts should pay a visit to the CaixaForum during stays in cheap hotels in Barcelona over the coming months to see a fascinating exhibition.
Until June 14th, the cultural centre will present an exploration of the creative process behind Miquel Barcelo's dome at the UN headquarters in Geneva.
The display uses a model, photographs and audiovisual techniques to show how Barcelo thought up and implemented his idea for the artwork.
He spent a year-and-a-half coming up with the sea design that would eventually feature at the UN building, a creation that visitors to the CaixaForum can plunge themselves into at the exhibition.
Barcelo, who was born in Mallorca, has been commissioned for a variety of art projects during his career, including the design of a church to look like the underside of a ship.
People staying in cheap hotels in Barcelona will find the CaixaForum in the Barceloneta district. The institution is based in an old factory and houses permanent exhibitions dedicated to artists including Salvador Dali and Auguste Rodin.
