What BAS is, Barcelona's urban art museum

What BAS is, Barcelona's urban art museum

Among Barcelona's contemporary art museums, BAS is the only one dedicated exclusively to urban art. That means being Barcelona's first 100% urban art museum: it is born and built in the city, with works created for the museum, and it is neither a touring exhibition nor a collection of reproductions.

BAS was created to give value to urban art, a discipline that is often undervalued, and it treats it with the same care as any other contemporary movement. Each work comes with its context, so that you understand not only what you are looking at, but why it is part of the history of urban art.

Original works, not reproductions: the collection in 7 rooms

Original works, not reproductions: the collection in 7 rooms

BAS's collection brings together local and international urban artists with one trait in common: these are original studio works, painted for the museum in a large format (2x2 metres), not copies or recreations brought in from elsewhere.


The tour is organised into 7 themed rooms that work as chapters of a single story:

1

Irony, criticism and subversion

5

Matter, memory and territory

2

Perception, rhythm and graphic language

6

Creative play

3

Dialogues between tradition and contemporaneity

7

Life, traces and impact

4

Symbolic imaginaries

Artists: local and international urban talent

Artists: local and international urban talent

On BAS's walls, emerging artists and established names of the urban scene live side by side, such as Okuda, Aryz, Felipe Pantone or OsGรชmeos.

The commitment to emerging talent is deliberate: BAS selects voices that are defining urban art today and makes them engage in dialogue with the temporary exhibitions, which renew the collection throughout the year.

  • Highly, highly recommended!!!!!! Different, special, with artists who are famous all over the world. It doesn't leave you indifferent. We loved it.

    Gemma Escrig

  • Very cool to see such top artists from the urban art world gathered in the same museum. There are some very powerful and highly varied pieces

    Clร udia Aragonรฉs

  • A great exhibition in the middle of Barcelona. The space is extremely well thought out and the works are much more impressive in person than in the photos, especially the large pieces, which have a brutal strength.

    Carola Morato

  • Very good selection of works: impactful and with the essence of urban art in every corner. I recommend it 100% to everyone who enjoys street art and original spaces!

    Xaqueline Rivera

  • A unique space in the heart of Barcelona, with urban and contemporary artworks in a beautifully curated venue, where the culture of art and Barcelona can be felt. A place curated so well was truly missing, you can really tell it was made with a lot of love!! We will be back!!! We can't wait to see the new artists they have in their temporary exhibitions!

    รˆlia Bernabeu

  • Congratulations to the creator and promoter of BAS for all the work done! A space full of quality artworks by renowned artists in the sector who contribute to keeping urban culture alive. An essential visit in Barcelona for urban art fans.

    Laia Garcรญa

  • The Bas Museum is a recently opened exhibition of paintings that captures the impressions of the city in the old town of Barcelona. The works stand out for their vibrant colours, and some pieces, based on classic oil paintings, are brought to new life by combining them with modern techniques.

  • Impressive, I went this weekend to see the Bas Museum (which some friends had recommended to me) and they actually fell short. I am used to visiting museums, but I had never seen one like this (artists in evolution, paintings with such intensity and freshness in the colours) and a great explanation of each painting. By the way, the staff.

What is urban art and how does it differ from graffiti?

Urban art is an artistic movement born in public space that encompasses many techniques: mural, stencil, poster, installation or intervention. Graffiti is one of its expressions, historically centred on lettering and the signature. At BAS you will see how urban art covers much more than graffiti, with works that engage in dialogue with contemporary painting.
