MIBA BarcelonaThe Museum of Ideas and Inventions is a new centre for inspirational designs and inventions and an original place to take the children.

The museum is divided into 5 collections including the Corner of the Absurd, a showroom for entertaining but useless inventions.  In the Limitless Society collection you will discover new ideas and technological creations from individuals and companies.  And everything from the fun to the practical is on display in the Reflectionarium.  When you enter the museum don't forget to use the periscope to check out the exhibits downstairs. You can access the lower level via a tunnel slide. Also expect to see some unusual and comical videos in the toilets! The museum also offers a kids’ zone with comfortable cushions where children are invited to submit designs for their own inventions with the best ideas of the month being selected and patented.  Workshops for kids are organised on a regular basis.

Open: Tues-Fri from 10am to 7pm; Sat 10am to 8pm and Sunday 10am to 2pm.
Price: Adults €7.00, Children under 12 €5.00 and under 4's FREE

Top Tips for Museums

  • Public museums are free on Sundays from 3pm to 8pm.  Most are also free all day on the first Sunday of each month.
  • Look out for Open days or Portes Obertes that take place on special festival dates throughout the year.
  • Check museum websites before you visit for special kids' activities and workshops.  You may have to register in advance, if not at the ticket office on the day.
  • Find out if a museum offers an annual family pass (Carnet Familiar) which gives you unlimited access throughout the year as this may be the best option if you are planning more than one visit.
  • Barcelona library card holders, take them with you - you will discover a surprising amount of savings can be made at cultural centres around town.
  • See Barcelona Discount Cards for ways of combining several visits to different centres during your stay.
