One of the pioneering galleries on the Barcelona art scene stands
opposite the old Born Market, in a former wholesale warehouse. Since
1980, as a result of an initiative by the collector Rafael Tous, Metronom
has not only become an exhibition centre but a key point of reference
for the most daring artistic experimentation and production. Its unconventional
programme of events includes manifestations linked to the plastic
arts, installations, video, photography, experimental music, contemporary
dance and performance.
