It was a lovely way to spend a wet day. The museum building itself is a magnificent work of art and well worth the visit. By the way, seniors go in for free. There is no way one can see every thing, so we zoomed into the areas that interest us, like modern art. Hopefully we can come again for... More

There are many enjoyable steps to get to the top from all of which you can enjoy the view, but of course you can go by car, taxi or bus and still get a magnificent view and see the building. There is a small... More

The museum is large but divided in different sections of Romanic, Gothic and Modernist art. The Romanic frescoes that were removed from their original locations are beautiful and the ambience feels religious as well. The audio guides are excellent.

The building houses four different areas covering several periods. I'm not the greatest art appreciators so some of it was A little bit too much. But worth a visit, especially for the view out the front

The museum is situated on Montjuic in a beautiful palace on a place with breathless view. Situated on Red route of city Sightseeing, the museum is also at 10 min walkig distance from "Pueblo Espanol". Catalan art from different forms - sculpture and painting to posters and engraving are here from the Roman Empire period to the Art Nouveau time.

Wonderful Museum, there were lots of artists I had never heard of, but I have to say well worth the entrance fee. The building itself is absolutley magnificent, it was just as enjoyable looking at the architecture as well as the exhibits inside. Views from outside were also tremendous, well worth a visit.
