Impressive stuff. The whole city of art and science is worth a walk and a visit. Seem like Calatrava had the cities credit card for a couple of years :)

Interesting exhibition on right now (July 2025) but obviously Calatrava designs his buildings primarily to be admired from the outside. The small gallery on the ground floor is self-contained and could be anywhere really as there’s nothing special about the space. The first floor is boiling hot, with big electric fans scattered around that don’t make much of a difference and look horrendous. So much for modern, impressive architecture.

Architecturally, it’s a great visit. The staff were very friendly while the exhibits on the main floor were a mix between fantastic and mediocre.

Designed by Santiago Calatrava, it is obviously reminiscent of a hydrozoa, like a Velella Velella or a Portuguese Man o'war, and a beautiful addition to the city of arts and sciences. As a Canadian, it reminds me of all the mountain formations painted by artist Lawren Harris.

The Caixa Forum is a remarkable cultural venue. It combines the old and the new, with a modern structure integrated into the historic former Hydraulic Pumping Station. The building's architecture is striking and sets the stage for a diverse range of exhibitions and cultural events. As an artist, you'll appreciate the creative atmosphere and the dynamic art displays. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in art and culture. I attended an ICOM-CC farewell reception.

The architecture is amazing and the decor and ambience super cool and being totally free it is a must if visiting the area. There is a nice restaurant with very reasonable prices inside!

Visually stunning, architectural mastery! Currently they’re running an Ancient Egyptian exhibit. Part of the larger City of Arts and Sciences, the Caixa Forum is a place to relax, dine, reflect and have fun. One can feel at peace in the green cafeteria or take a cup of coffee in the treehouse. A true must see in Valencia
