National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona

This museum has extensive collections, including Medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Modern art, pH๏τography and numismatics galleries, as well as temporary exhibitions, which widen its offer further.

The National Palace of Montjuic (“Palau Nacional de Montjuïc”) is the headquarters of the museum since 1934, although it was built years before for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition; this is a view from Waterfalls square (“Plaça de les Cascades”).
