Visit to Caixaforum

Today we went to Caixaforum Barcelona in order to visit two expositions: Velázquez i el segle d'or and Toulouse-Lautrec i l'esperit de Montmartre.

First of all, we visited Vélazquez i el segle d'or. I enjoyed watching those paintings and observing all the details they have. In some of them I recognised stories and characters of mythology. I was surprised that there were not many paintings by Velázquez. As the visit was not guided, I did not have a global idea of what I was seeing. I could say the section I liked the most was the part of the families, in which you could dress up and recreate some paitings.
The environment was dark and basic, it did not go with the paintings.
We did not have time to see all the exposition as we needed to go to the other one, but I did not really liked it.







Secondly, we reunited to enter to the exposition Toulouse-Lautrec i l'esperit de Montmartre. This time the visit was guided, so we had headphones to listen to the guide. I really enjoyed this visit, the guide explained us lots of interesting things and I learnt a lot. I loved how the environment was together with the paintings; it felt like I was walking through the streets in Montmartre.
It was great seeing those pieces of art accompanied by an explanation, I would totally repeat the experience.
