Botany in Art: Plants in the Collections of the Museo del Prado

CaixaForum Girona
A cultural stop in the heart of Girona’s old town, where exhibitions, architecture, education and quiet discovery meet. CaixaForum Girona is the kind of place that turns a walk through the historic centre into an art moment.
CaixaForum Girona is located at Carrer dels Ciutadans, 19, right in the old quarter of Girona. The building itself is part of the story: it sits in the historic centre and was declared a national historic monument in 1921 before becoming the open cultural space it is today.
The centre is part of the CaixaForum network and offers a changing cultural program with exhibitions, conferences, debates, educational activities and workshops. It is designed as an accessible, welcoming cultural space rather than a traditional museum with a permanent collection.

Worth the trip
Yes — especially if you are already in Girona or planning a cultural escape through Catalonia.
What makes CaixaForum Girona special is its scale: it is not overwhelming, but it adds depth to the city. Girona is famous for its old town, cathedral, Jewish quarter and cinematic streets; CaixaForum gives the visit a cultural layer that feels local, accessible and thoughtful.
For Artlovers, it is worth including because it shows how smaller cities can offer meaningful art experiences without needing a blockbuster museum. Sometimes the best cultural stop is simple: a historic building, a good exhibition, and one quiet hour that changes how you see the city.
ArtLovers Tip
Visit it as part of a slow walk through Girona’s old town. See the exhibition, then step back into the medieval streets — the contrast between historic city and contemporary cultural program is the charm. General admission is listed as free.
