Visit the MNAC in Barcelona
If I had to choose to visit 1-2 museums during a short stay in Barcelona, the MNAC would be for sure one of them.The MNAC (Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya) has the most important collection of Catalan Art in the world (this should be obvious but . . .), since the Greek colonies until our days. Sculptures, paintings, designs . . . from local anonymous artists but also from well known artists like Picasso, Miro’ or Ramon Casas.My favourite part of the museum is all the rooms related to Romanesque Art being the XIIth century paintings from the Churches of Boí Taüll (Catalan Pirineus) the highlight. But the espace related to the Modern Art is very interesting as well, with works of Ramon Casas, Isidre Nonell or Joaquim Sunyer. The MNAC also organises from time to time interesting temporary exhibitions. I remember especially the one dedicated to the Italian painter Caravaggio, some years...
