Glòries to open in 2026 the first metro entrance integrated into a museum

Barcelona is preparing to open an unprecedented metro access: the future entrance to L1 at Glòries, located on the ground floor of the Museu del Disseny (DHub).

It will be the first entrance in the network to connect directly with a cultural facility, scheduled to open in summer 2026.

The 380 m² lobby will serve as a transition space between transport and culture. The project, designed by AMOO STUDIO, features a fluid and accessible layout, with integrated ceiling lighting, large audiovisual screens, clear signage, and all necessary technical systems.

In addition to improving mobility, the space will become a new meeting point for the public: it will include the station's bar and a multifunctional bench designed as a prelude to the museum.

The entrance will be open from 9 am to 9 pm — with a delayed opening at 3:30 pm on Mondays — and has a budget of 1.1 million euros. Construction, set to begin in early 2026, will last for six months.
