Editing Palau de la Música Catalana (section)

==Remodeling and extension==

Between 1982 and 1989 parts of the building were restored to their original state, technically upgraded and expanded to allow additional uses. The new work did not compromise the decorative or structural integrity of the original building.  Stone, brick, iron, glass, and ceramics were used in the same way that Domènech i Montaner used them.  One of the most important expansions is the adjoining building of six stories that houses dressing rooms, a library, and an archive.

From 2006 to 2008, further restoration was carried out: the lantern on the top of the tower on the corner of the building was reinstalled, as were some ornamental features of the façade.

Opened in 2004, the ''Petit Palau'' ("small palace") is 11 metres below the square that was created in the work of 1982-1989 between the palace and the neighbouring church.  It has a seating capacity of 538 people and is equipped with variable acoustics for different types of music and spoken word.  It also possesses the latest in audiovisual technology.  Like the other additions, it was designed in the spirit of Domènech i Montaner.  It is light and transparent like the palace proper, but at the same time it is modern in its great flexibility for different cultural, social, and business uses.

=== Appearances in film ===
On 7 September 2018, the palace appeared in BBC TV's Release Date trailer for Season 11 of ''Doctor Who''. The trailer shows Jodie Whittaker, as the first female Doctor, literally 'shattering the glass ceiling' of the palace's striking skylight.
