CaixaForum Museum was created by the distinguished Catalan architect Puig i Cadafalch. It is unusual because its original function was as a textile factory and this adds to the center's utilitarian presence. The CaixaForum's open auditorium holds seminars and cultural events. Past events have been graced by the presence of some international big shots like Bill Clinton, Gorbachev, Bono and Noam Chomsky. Its "Foundations Contemporary Art Collection" is a must—see.
