The Tàpies Foundation has just reopened following extensive renovations lasting two years .The renovation works sympathetically brought out the original style of the building, which was built in 1879 by the architect Lluis Doménech i Montaner.
Restored and decorated by the architects Roser Amad ó and Lluís Domènech Girbau, the space offers a soothing oasis in the middle of a vibrant noisy city.
The Barrisol Lumiere ceiling, which overhangs a row of iron columns, is part of the skilful mixture of industrial and contemporary styles.
