Exhibitions at the CCCC

The listing treats this as a visit to the building rather than to one show: the CCCC has a triple contemporary art programme running this season, open since 9 July and continuing until 26 September 2026. No price is given in the listing, so check admission and opening hours on the centre's official page before you go.

What the CCCC is

The Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània occupies a former convent at Carrer del Museu 2. It is an unusual and rather pleasant place to walk through: you go from a gallery into a cloister with orange trees and out into another gallery, so the visit alternates between indoors and courtyard. That rhythm makes it work even if you have never heard of the artists.

With three shows on at once, do not try to give all of them equal attention. Pick the one that appeals and treat the others as a walk.

Where it is, and what to pair it with

It sits in the middle of the Barrio del Carmen, the oldest quarter inside the medieval walls, so it is walkable from anywhere in the historic centre. If contemporary art is what you came for, the city supports a full day of it: the Hortensia Herrero Art Centre is also central, and Bombas Gens occupies a former factory north of the old riverbed. The overview is in the best museums in València.

Timing and cost

Two things visitors often get wrong here. First, Spanish museums normally close one day a week, usually Monday — check before you build a day around it. Second, the early afternoon is when the streets empty and smaller shops shut, which makes an air-conditioned gallery the obvious move between roughly 14:00 and 17:00. València also has a lot of culture that costs nothing; we list it in free museums in València.
