Can Framis is the latest Fundació Vila Casas museum, an art center in Barcelona devoted to the promotion of contemporary Catalan painting.

Located in the old Can Framis factory complex, the museum displays more than 250 paintings from the sixties to the present made by artists born or currently living in Catalonia.

[1] In addition to the permanent collection which is divided in three floors, Can Framis Museum has an area dedicated to temporary exhibitions named Espai Aø.

The Can Framis Museum is located 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) below the contemporary city roads, since the factory was built based on the former agricultural sketches prior to the implementation of the Cerdà Plan (1860).

The museum displays more than 250 paintings dating from the 1960s onwards by a wide range of artists born or living in Catalonia selected by the private collector and owner Antoni Vila Casas.

The education service offers a range of activities for infant, primary and secondary school students and for people with special needs that take place at the rooms and workshops of Can Framis.

A specialist takes visitors through the permanent painting exhibition at the museum, giving explanations of the art which invite the viewer to go beyond mere superficial contemplation.

There are three groups of guided visits:[10] The headquarters of the Fundació Vila Casas are located on the first floor of a Catalan Art Nouveau building in Barcelona.
