| Description |
|
Museu del Disseny de Barcelona says that it
is, "... the Catalan capital’s centre
devoted to the arts
of the object and design.
The new museum was created as a result
of merging the collections from four of
the city’s museums: the Museu de les
Arts Decoratives (devoted to the
decorative arts), the Museu de Ceràmica
(ceramics), the Museu Tèxtil i
d’Indumentària (textiles and clothing)
and the Gabinet de les Arts Gràfiques
(graphic arts)." The museum's home is in the Disseny Hub Barcelona building in Plaça de les Glòries designed by the MBM (Martorell, Bohigas, Mackay, Capdevila and Gual) team of architects. The E-Architecture website describes it as, "... a confident, expressive building ... located on a sloping site beside Jean Nouvelle’s Agbar tower, and very close to the elevated roundabout of a busy motorway."  "The site is
part of a future park which meant
that only a small building footprint
would be allowed at ground level
with the rest of the building
underground."
