The Romanic and Medieval sections double as historic museums, with mostly religious paintings from church interiors. Moving on to the more "modern" sections, the art work became more and more varied. Yes, Picasso and Gaudi replicas are featured. One can go in the afternoon to get away from the heat outside, then hang around for the magic fountain show! more

What I liked? Great art, medieval, modern, Picasso, Gaudi. Great way to know more about catalan culture. What I loved? Stop by at the café, really, incredible views with Barcelona at your feet and live Spanish guitar. Just Vicki Cristina Barcelona. more

When in Barcelona don't miss the Museu Nacional d`Art de Catalunya - MNAC. The museum itself is located atop Montjuic, a hill overlooking the city centre and this allows for fine views. The selection of medieval frescoes and carvings from the Pyrenees and Catalonia is impressive. Also, check out the Modern Art section with Ramon Casas' tandem bicyle painting. A... more

I got the impression from the guidebooks that this was a lot more impressive than it was. There are so many wonderful things to see in Barcelona that this really warrants only a quick stop, in my opinion, unless you are really crazy about medieval art. more

The art is ok, as noted by a previous reviewer, doesn't compare to the Thyssen or Prado, imho. The building itself is pretty, I thought. I approached it both from above and below, and it's pretty to look at. If you're approaching from above (the Park), MNAC peeks through the trees. Take the tram up (it's located in the subway,... more

The MNAC was strongly recommended in the guide books. Most of the presentation seemed to be oriented to the Catalan history, which I appreciate is a source of local pride. I suppose the highlight of our visit was the exceptional view from the front steps. Standing there, one can see the whole of Barcelona city. The museum itself was so-so,... more
