CaixaForum is an art exhibition centre, belonging to the one of most powerful Catalan saving banks, La Caixa.
It's located in a beautiful old factory building, amazing example of Modernist industrial architecture. Most of the abandoned factory wall were respected, and with some artistic interventions of artists like Sol LeWitt and Lucio Fontana, converted it to a spectacular place. The building itself deserve a visit: 3.000 square metres, 3 exhibition halls and 2 polyvalent rooms were concerts and other activities are held. Besides, there is a permanent exhibit of contemporary art, and excellent temporary exhibitions of all kind of artistic expressions. For instance, last time I was there I saw an exhibition of Turner's paintings and another or archaeological Thracian treasures.
And more... can you believe all this is for free??? (except special activities)
Here you have as well a shop (art books and many unusual items, ideal for gifts), and a pretty good cafe/restaurant ('menu del dia' is a good deal)

 Quiet ,please! by Dariana
When the king Jaume II died, the queen and women of her family moved into a palace built adjacent to the monastery. According to her wishes,this palace was distroyed after her death.
This treasure of Catalan Gothic architecture begun to be built in 1326 and was innagurated an year later.
In Middle Age was a custom that one member of noble families choose to become a nun, taking the vows of obedience,chastity,poverty and enclosure.
The queen Elisenda was burried here among other noblewomen.
In 1931 this monastery was declared a Hitoric-artistic Monument of National Interest.
In the ancient dormitory belonging to the nuns and the main hall of the palace is an interesting and valuable collection consisting in paintings and sculptures from Middle Age to European Baroque:Fra Angelico, Tiziano, Tintoretto, Velasquez, Rubens, Guardi and others.All this works of art are contained in the Von Thyssen Bornemisza Collection.
The beauty of the three-storey cloisters, the patio with oranges , the silent and the impressive art collection make The Pedralbes Monastery a must see.
So, don`t miss it. Leave a Comment Address: 9,Baixada del MonestirPhone: 93 203 92 82Directions: M:Reina Elisenda bus:22, 63, 64, 75 1/6-30/9: Tue-Sun: 10-15; closed Monday 1/10-31/5: Tue-Sun: 10-14;closed MondayWebsite: www.bcn.es/museus

 NMAC by parsix
With more than 30 museums, I am sure everyone will find something to suit their interests. Taking the tour bus will allow you the flexibility to access some of the museums in the Montjouic area (up the hill).
From historic to modern art, the city has them all.

 perfectly pretty by yelyah99
Also, the museum's cafe in this courtyard is supposed to be very good if you fancy refuelling during your rest stop (Cafe d'Estiu). Leave a Comment Address: Plaça Sant Iu, 3-5Directions: in the Gothic Quarter

The Barier.Mueller Museum of Pre-Colombia Art is housed in the medieval Palau Nadal and has been there since 1997. The artefacts come from a collection made by the Swiss business man Josef Mueller (1887 - 1977) and his son-in-law Jean-Paul Barbier.
It is not a very big museum but all artworks are from Latin America and dates from 1500BC to the 16th century. In the exhibition there are jewellery, pottery, textiles, stone- and wooden statues and metal objects.
Admission was 3 Euro (February 2008). The first Sunday every month admission is free.
The museum is open between 11 - 19 on Tuesday to Friday, between 10 - 19 on Saturdays and between 10 - 15 on Sundays and Holidays.
My intention was to see the Barbier-Mueller Museum first and then cross the street to visit the Picasso Museum, but the line outside that museum was very long, too long.
