The MEAM is currentlly located at the Gomis Palace, in the middle of the streets of the Born in Barcelona, a neighborhood where culture is always present and reflects the charm of the old part of the city, an area that knew how to mix tradition and modernity, becoming a requiered visit for the tourits interested in the Monumental Barcelona. The MEAM is different from other Contemporary Art museums because it houses living artists who created Figurative Art. These artworks are hardly seen in other museums, collections or entities, to whom the word Contemporary is identified by experiment and abstraction.

The birth of Fundació Gaspar could not be understood without the legacy of the Gaspar family. "The Gaspar" have been involved in the promotion of contemporary art in Barcelona for over 100 years, mainly with the legendary Sala Gaspar, where artists such as Picasso, Miró, Braque, Calder or Tàpies, among many others exhibited. In the foundation we understand contemporary art as a large map with many nuances and subtleties. We want to introduce creators with different approaches, speeches and sensitivities, who can show the richness of the international scene. We intend to bring relevant contemporary artists who have not previously exhibited in the city or have not done so on a regular basis, thus extending the work by other institutions. In Fundació Gaspar we want to provide the city a new space where each visit can turn into an experience.
