This place is so amazing and fun and for only 11 euros (for students) I’ve been to plenty of visual art museums but this one is gigantic. It’s so fun to walk around in the dark with the music and lights reflecting on the water. At the time of my visit, we saw the shows of Salvador Dali and Gaudi. The shows just repeat every hour or so. Great value to chill. I just wish that there were more shows to watch.
