The new 2018-2019 season for the CaixaForum Barcelona Museum will have as protagonists Toulouse-Lautrec, Vélazquez, and Max Beckmann.

CaixaForum has also joined with the Thyssen Museum to welcome a collection showing an anthology on German artist Max Beckmann.

Additionally, museum-goers will be able to enjoy a collection of luxury objects from the Near East in collaboration with the British Museum with 'Luxe,' and a showing of works from the time between world wars, done jointly with the Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM).
