Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya

Beautiful and breathtaking museum! The waterfalls in the front with lots of staircases makes this place so majestic! It's quite a sight and popular spot. Lots of visitors and people walking around and hanging out. Also lots of people selling things on the stairs. When you get up to the top, the view is amazing.

Inside, the art selection is immense. The museum is super clean and elegant. There's also a little cafe to order snacks, drinks like coffee, and sandwhiches!

Beautiful and a must see, when visiting Barcelona. It is so grand and magnificent from the exterior. They have great exhibits and paintings to check out. The outside bottom fountain area attracts many interesting people, so be mindful, but the pictures at the top are worth the walk.

We had a great day at the museum on a rainy day. We spent the whole day and even had lunch at the restaurant in the museum. Great exhibits and a great building. It is certainly worth spending time visiting, especially on a rainy day when outdoor activities are limited.

An amazing art such a beautiful building. I love everything about here I highly recommend it anybody visit this country that museum.!

This is one museum I highly recommend a visit. Located on Montjuic hill, the outside is impressive looking and doesn't look like a museum. It houses a good amount of Romanesque and Catalan art work and I spent almost three hours in here going through the whole museum.

The first floor has the Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance art, which was where I really spent a lot of time. The Romanesque collection has a lot of mural paintings, and those are really impressive. The Gothic and Renaissance paintings were beautiful. The second floor holds the modern (19th century) art collection, and while modern art doesn't really appeal to me, it was still worth a walk through.

The museum also has a cafe, located in the Oval Hall. If you follow the provided map layout, you end up at the cafe after viewing the Renaissance wing. It's genius, as a break is much needed after going through all the wings of the first floor.

The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya features an impressive collection of Romanesque church paintings and Catalan art and design from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It's located in an "you can't miss it" site on Montjuic hill and is housed within the Palau Nacional, a huge Italian-style building dating back to 1929.

Gayle and I spend a pleasant couple hours here last month. We first started at the Museum's nice cafeteria which is located within a large domed room, which is probably used for various public events. We spent most of our time in the 2 modern art wings, and particularly enjoyed the exhibits covering the Spanish Civil War and a special display covering the current Ukraine war.

There's lots to see here and it's easy to be overwhelmed with what this place has to offer. The inside exhibit spaces are roomy and a pleasure to walk through. It's just that we probably needed another visit to cover the Romanesque art. The view of the City from the entrance is also very impressive, especially on a clear day.

Loved this museum! I felt like the curatorial notes to the exhibits and to various pieces told a historical narrative rooted in consideration of the sociological and economic factors that shaped the art. The museum's commitment to artists with Catalan connections was refreshing. The building is beautiful and the views of Barcelona are great too!

Great museum of Catalonia Art from pre-renaissance, renaissance along with pre and post modern. Great way to see a ton of ancient wall art, sculptures as well oil paintings, furniture, and much more. There is a lot to see so make sure to have enough time to see everything.

One of maybe 5 absolutely can't miss Barcelona highlights. To really take in this museum you need a couple of days, but in two hours you can see the frescoes from the Romanesque period a millennia ago. The process is explained here, but in the 20th century they figured out how to rescue the frescoes from the oldest Catalan churches and move them onto the same shaped walls and surfaces here. Absolutely incredible. The front of the museum offers a nice café with a spectacular view of the city, and a very photogenic opportunity for selfies with either the city below or the museum behind you on the stairs.

The majestic museum is on Montjuïc hill at the end of Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina, near Pl Espanya. It is notable for its outstanding collection of romanesque church paintings, and for Catalan art & design from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The museum is housed in the Palau Nacional, a huge, Italian-style building from 1929. The Palau Nacional, which has housed the Museu d'Art de Catalunya was declared a national museum. The Oval Hall was reopened in 1992 for the Olympics, It is one of the largest museums in Spain.
