  • Barcelona will open a Thyssen Museum in 2027, located in the Palau Marcet.
  • The collection mainly comes from Baroness Carmen Thyssen and focuses on Catalan painting from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.
  • The investment fund Stoneweg has contributed approximately 100 million euros for the acquisition and adequacy of the building.
  • The new motto of Turisme de Barcelona is 'This is Barcelona', attempting to promote the city's cultural identity.
  • Municipal authorities plan to attract more selective tourists with a higher cultural and economic level.

Conclusion: The opening of the Thyssen Museum is a valuable addition to Barcelona's tourist and cultural offer, which is in a phase of revitalization and reorientation towards an increasingly stronger cultural identity.
