Step into CaixaForum Madrid, a former power station turned arts centre in the heart of Centro. Take in rotating exhibitions and immersive projections across its floors, then admire the building's floating brick facade from outside.

Full description

CaixaForum Madrid occupies a former power station reworked by Herzog & de Meuron, with a brick base that appears to float above the plaza. Inside, several floors host temporary exhibitions that change regularly, alongside performances and cultural events.

About 90 minutes covers the exhibitions comfortably, and the low ticket price makes it an easy add-on to the nearby museums.
