In my opinion, it's the best museum in town. I was specially interested in the Romanesque section, with ones of the oldest Spanish paintings, coming from the Catalonian Romanesque churches. The Baroque and Gothic section are very interesting also, as well as the 19th and 20th centuries section. This museum worth a stressless visit. You can take an audioguide free of charge if you ask for them. Unfortunatly it's not allowed to take pictures of pieces of arts but I toke some photos of the building itself.
En mi opinión, este es el mejor museo de la ciudad. Lo que más me interesaba era la sección del románico, con unas de las pinturas españolas más antiguas, procedentes de iglesias románicas catalanas. La sección del barroco y el gótico es muy interesante también, así como la de los siglos XIX y XX. EL museo merece una visita sin estrés. Puedes coger una audioguía sin coste, siempre que la pidas al entrar. Lamentablemente no está peritido tomar fotos de las obras de arte, pero yo tomé algunas del propio edificio.

This beautiful building is one of the Barcelona's landmaks, at the end of María Cristina Av. on top of the hill. It was built for the International Exhibition in 1929 and it houses the National Musum of Art of Catalonia since 1934. This palace remembers me of "El Pilar" basilica, in Zaragoza with its towers and the dome. There are escalators to arrive to its entrance, from where you can enjoy a good view of the city.
Este bonito edificio es una de las señales de identidad de Barcelona, al final de la avenida de María Cristina. Fue construido para la Exposición Internacional de 1929 y acoje el Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña desde 1934. Este palacio me recuerda al Pilar de Zaragoza, con sus torres y cúpula. Hay escaleras mecánicas para llegar a su entrada, desde la que se pueden disfrutar de unas magníficas vistas de la ciudad. Leave a Comment Phone: 93 622 03 60Directions: Monjuïc district.

The glorious hilltop Palau Nacional was built in the early 20th century for the International Exhibition. It is located in Montjuïc and is now home to the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. The museum contains an incredible collection of Catalan art, including a mesmerising set of mediaeval and Romanesque frescos from various churches around the region. Other works of art include paintings by El Greco and Velázquez.

 The grand Palau Nacional by seamandrew
From the Plaça d'Espanya, the view up to the Palau Nacional is breathtaking. I suggest taking the walk up (escalators make it easier).
The Palau Nacional is home to a series of fountains that are located on the steps leading down towards the Plaça d'Espanya. When these fountains are turned on and the light glows through them it's quite a site. See my tip on the fountains of Palau Nacional and my travelogue with more pictures of the Weekly water show.

I found paintings and sculptures from Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and More Recent periods.
To me most impressive was the Photography department. The museum claims to have a collection of 65.000 pictures! That might keep you busy for a while...
Very good museum in a grand building!
And when you have a chance: go visit this area at night, the buildings and fountains are awesome!
Opening times:
Tues-Sat 10.00-19.00
Sun 10.00-14.30
Entrance fee: €8,50 Directions: Metro: Line 1 and 3, Plaça EspanyaWebsite: www.mnac.es
