MACBA museum

For a field trip for another class I visited the MACBA museum which stands for the Museum of Contemporary Art of Catalunya.  I really think the outside of the museum is the best part. I am not a big fan of contemporary art and I had a really difficult time understanding a lot of the pieces. My teacher gave us a tour of the museum which was somewhat interesting but I think that the museum building itself is more interesting than the actual art.  The surrounding Plaza del Angles is really cool with all the skateboarders and young people.  I think the culture really lies in the plaza as opposed to in the museum.  The museum seemed stark and dry to me but the plaza was lively and exciting.  I loved all the little kids running around and spending time with their families.  The plaza really overshadowed the boring museum for me.   


I was curious if Barcelona has embraced the skateboarding in the plaza or if they forbid it, because it the united states many public places dont allow skateboarders? I think that although it is an art museum it really doesnt do a good enough job of representing Catalan culture.   
I didnt bring my camera along on this field trip but I found this really cool photo online that shows the skateboarders in the plaza.
