The European Museum of Modern Art, MEAM, shows the best contemporary figurative art. Its aim is to find a new contemporary language that does not deny tradition but which emerges from it to take a major leap forwards into the new century. It is differentiated from other contemporary art museums since it supports artists who produce contemporary realist art.

The MEAM is in the Palau Gomis, among the narrow streets of the Born district in Barcelona, a neighbourhood in which culture is always present and where all the charm of the old quarter is reflected, an area that has been able to link tradition and modernity and which has become an absolute must place to visit for tourists interested in the historical monuments and museums of Barcelona.
