Barcelona’s History

Museums & Galleries

Barcelona is a museum lover’s paradise.

The variety, quality and quantity of these institutions is guaranteed to keep you occupied for a considerable portion of your time in the city.

There was a flurry of activity before and after the 1992 Olympic games that resulted in the renovation of some of the city’s world class museums such as the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, host to one of the world’s best collections of Romanesque art, and the construction of new museums such as the MACBA (Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art) with its spectacular white building by architect Richard Meier in the heart of the old city where the contrast couldn’t be greater.
