Barcelona's best bargain for art lovers is the Articket BCN ( www.articketbcn.org ; per person
€30) , which gives you entry to six museums for a fraction of what you'd pay if you
bought individual tickets. The six museums are the MACBA, the CCCB, the Fundació
Antoni Tàpies, Fundació Joan Miró, the MNAC and the Museu Picasso.
REVIVING EL RAVAL
The Filmoteca de Catalunya's relocation to the Raval from the neighbourhood of Sar-
rià is part of the 'Raval Revival', an ongoing project to set up the neighbourhood as one
of Spain's most influential cultural centres. As part of the project, representatives
from the MACBA, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de
Barcelona, the Biblioteca de Catalunya, Arts Santa Mònica, the Virreina Centre de la
Imatge, the Institut d'Estudis Catalans and the Filmoteca de Catalunya meet every
three months with the aim of creating a cultural network with the Raval as its nucleus.
The idea is that these eight institutions will join forces, showing complementary exhib-
itions, organising cultural events and collaborating in creative projects.
