Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya

The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya is located in the Palau Nacional on Montjuïc, a building constructed for the 1929 International Exhibition.
In 1934, it opened its doors as the Museum of Art of Catalonia, bringing together the medieval art collection. Later, in 1995, already as the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, the new Romanesque art galleries were inaugurated. The public presentation of the collections was gradually expanded, a process that culminated in 2004 with the opening of the new Modern Art galleries.

Here you can discover the world’s finest collection of Romanesque mural painting, as well as the most representative artists of Catalan Modernism, such as Gaudí and Ramon Casas. The collection is completed by Gothic art, major European painters of the Renaissance and the Baroque, such as Titian and Velázquez, and an important photography collection.

The strength, quality, and versatility of the collection offer a 360° experience: before, during, and after your visit. We recommend exploring both the collection and the history of the building to discover its many secrets. The organisation of temporary exhibitions and activities designed to bring audiences closer to art makes the museum a space for artistic dialogue and debate.
