Museu Can Framis. Fundació Vila Casas
Can Framis, a factory built at the end of the 18th century, was originally owned by the Framis family. Over the years it fell into disuse, becoming a monument to the industry of the area.
Can Framis is a project of the Fundació Vila Casas and opened in 2009 as the Museu de Pintura Contemporània Catalana. The building dates back to the 18th century when it was a textile mill owned by the Framis family. The restoration project and museum were designed by the BAAS Arquitectes practice, which has been awarded a number of prizes, including the 2009 City of Barcelona Architecture and Urban Design Prize. The architectural ensemble is set among gardens: an oasis that contrasts the human scale of the 19th-century building with the monumental contemporary architecture.
