While Barcelona has so much to offer, The White Rabbit Off Museum is relatively new and is a fun place to go, especially on a rainy day in Barcelona. Keep reading to find out more about what to expect if you decide to visit. I’ll share the price, what to expect in each room along whether or not I would recommend a visit.

It was €25 entry for adults and €15 for university students when I visited. Right now, they have an offer of €15 for entry on their website. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Mar who had great energy and was very friendly. This immersive experience explains a lot about Catalan culture. Every room is interactive in a different way, highlighting a different part of this rich heritage.
Different Parts of The Off Museum
There are ten different rooms in total. Each room has a very different theme and caters to different sensory inputs. Also, some parts don’t feel like rooms exactly, hence why I’m referring to them more so as parts.
Love is Blind
The first work you’ll see at the entrance is called ‘Love is Blind’ by the urban artist, TVBOY. The painting first appeared in Barcelona in 2017, around the same time that the Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona took place. While the image has been seen as controversial by some, the artist included a book and a rose which are supposed to symbolize culture and love.
The Xivarri Room
The Xivarri Room is a playful creation by Mina Hamada. Prepare to be immersed in colors and designs that will have you looking left, right and centre. The intention in this room is for visitors to immerse themselves in the energy of Barcelona, similar to its neighborhood parties.
Capgrossos
Looking that these sculptures took me right back to my childhood as I feel like I saw them on television during the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992. I might be wrong, but they definitely took me back! These are more than sculptures, they represent the diversity and identity of Barcelona and their people. Trust me when I say there are plenty more to see when you visit.
Caganer
Now initially I looked at this and thought that it was a statue of a fella taking a shite. However, this is supposed to represent an icon of Catalan culture. It is also supposed to represent a mythological and magical structure (which makes sense with its size and that fact that it’s gold). Art is abstract, for sure!
L’Ou Com Balla
This isn’t just a small floating on water (that’s what I thought it was first). In fact, it’s actually an egg, which is supposed to symbolise the fight for survival and perseverance. On the other hand, water in this installation represents a source of life which drives us and sustains us.
Farra
This is a very fun installation if you’re willing to let loose and bust a move. I on the other hand was not and it would have taken a lot of Dutch courage for me to do so (I also would’ve found it very performative if I was to dance at this and have any recording or evidence of it, but that’s me). The music is put together by Razzmatazz, a very popular club in Barcelona.
Esclat
This very colourful installation was my favourite by far. I enjoyed it so much, I sat and watched the whole thing twice! (I also arrived mid-way and wanted to make sure that I saw it all). Sit on one of the beanbags and take it all of the beauty that Barcelona and Catalan culture have to offer. You’ll be taken through multiple visual representations of Barcelona’s focal points and staples in Catalan identity.
Enxaneta
This VR installation is a great way to immerse yourself in the legend of Saint Jordi. There are other experiences where you can ascend to the top of a Castell (another Barcelona 1992 Olympics flashback) or dance among the fireworks and sparks of a ‘correfoc’. I found myself moving around my seat taking it all in!
Bocabadat
This is a visual representation of a famous theatre company who have taken their performances all over the world. Again, some readers may remember their work from the opening ceremony of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. The concept of this work is that music, art, theatre and words are all one.
F.O.C.
This installation by Vitamin Studio gave me major TeamLab Borderless vibes. Imagine lights changing all around you as you weave your way around the room. It’s very visual and stimulating for the eyes!
When Your Visit at The White Rabbit Off-Museum Ends
Of course there’s a gift shop that you can check out because why wouldn’t there be a gift shop in a museum?! Also, there’s a wheel of choice that you can spin if you’re looking for something new to do on your Barcelona adventure!
Would I Recommend a Visit to The White Rabbit Off-Museum in Barcelona?
I would definitely recommend a visit to The White Rabbit Off-Museum in Barcelona. It’s a not your average museum by any means, which of course is the whole point of an off-museum. That being said, I would probably hold off and keep it for a rainy day in order to make the most of the sunshine that Barcelona has to offer as well.
Thanks for Reading!

I love quirky museums so I think I’d enjoy this. Some of the statues and sculptures are strange …
I remember the waterfalls the most from the pictures of Barcelona from the Olympics.
It seems quite expensive unless you purchase a ticket on the website. Very colourful and certainly thought provoking though.
Thanks for sharing this.

I went a peak season and also I know that I most likely won’t be back again for a very long time so I am glad that I went when I did. That said… I wish I was paying the current price!
