Unravelling across three floors and a hushed courtyard within the handsome 18th-century Palau Gomis, around the corner from the Museu Picasso, this strictly representational collection showcases incredibly varied works mostly by young Spanish artists (the 'Modern' of the name simply means 'contemporary'). There are a few pieces from elsewhere in Europe, too, as well as changing exhibitions.
