From "El Prat" Airport to "Plaça de Catalunya" station

The recommended method is to get to Plaça de Catalunya from the airport by train, by the "Blue Bus" or by taxi. The train (renfe) leaves the railway station close to the airport every 30 minutes, it gets to the downtown in less than 25 minutes. The Blue Bus (labeled "Aeroport") leaves the airport every 15 minutes and takes 20-25 minutes to arrive to Plaça de Catalunya (its end destination). By taxi the drive takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

From "Plaça de Catalunya" to "Cosmocaixa"

Once in Plaça Catalunya you may use any of the public transports mentioned above to reach Cosmocaixa. Perhaps the most convenient one is Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC): get off in Avinguda del Tibidabo Station (see the symbol of FGC marked above Plaça Kennedy in the local map below). From here, the Cosmocaixa museum (the blue zone with a white star in the map) is at walking distance (5-10 min).
