Le Corbusier

One of the world's best-known architects is put under the microscope in this on-going series of exhibitions staged by the CCCB of great figures of the 20th-century. Le Corbusier defined himself as both architect and as a man of letters and here the great man's thoughts are as visible as his buildings. A dense and original thinker, Le Corbusier was also self-taught and able to translate his vision of the world into radically innovative constructions. The excellent exhibition is curated by the philosopher and writer, Pep Subirós and the architect Fernando Marzá.

Goddesses

Over 100 divine female figurines from ancient Mediterranean civilisations have been gathered together for the first time ever in this rich and fascinating exhibition. On loan from Europe's leading museums, the figures represent images of the divine female in all her many forms. Exhibited in the majestic Sala Tinell throne room, the show features voluptuous 20,000 year-old 'Venus' figurines, as well as an abundance of goddesses from such diverse cultures as Anatolia, Mesopotamia, Israel, Palestine, Cyprus, Crete and the classical world of Greece and Rome. Goddesses of life and death, idols, amulets or simply representations of the female form, this unique exhibition provides intriguing insight into our origins as well as our habits of worship.
