The 10 Best Museums in Sants-Montjuíc, Catalonia

May 27, 2021 Harland Bartelt

Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

Joan Miro Foundation

The Fundació Joan Miró was created by Miró himself, at first principally with works from his own private collection, with a desire to set up an internationally recognised centre in Barcelona for Miró scholarship and contemporary art research, and to disseminate the collection. The Fundació opened to the public on 10 June 1975 and has since become a dynamic centre in which Joan Miró's work coexists with cutting-edge contemporary art. With an interdisciplinary approach, the Fundació organises temporary exhibitions of 20th and 21st century artists as well as academic activities and projects in collaboration with other institutions and organisations. Through its exhibition and educational programmes, the Fundació Joan Miró explores lines of research linked to the work of Miró and to contemporary art. The Fundació is located in a building designed by Josep Lluís Sert, making it one of the few museums anywhere in the world in which the complicity between artist and architect underpins the dialogue between the works and the space that houses them. The Fundació offers an overview of the landscapes of Joan Miró's art and life, creating an enriching dialogue with other artists from the 20th and 21st centuries.

Perhaps Miro isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, however the way his art is organised and articulated is exceptional. The building was purpose designed and built, the multimedia audio guide the best I have had the pleasure of listening to and learning from, the views from the Terrace over Barcelona spectacular, the staff friendly and even the coffee shop was tops. There were additional temporary exhibitions on sound and silence as art, and an interactive art area. I spent a most enjoyable rainy day and came away with a greater appreciation of Miro’s paintings, sculptures, philosophies, life and times.

An art museum containing hundreds of pieces from the medieval age to the 19th century.

Reviewed By Maroundtheworld143 - Doha, Qatar

National Art Museum of Catalonia,is the national museum of Catalan visual art located in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Situated on Montjuïc hill, the museum is especially notable for its outstanding collection of romanesque church paintings, and for Catalan art and design from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including modernisme and noucentisme. The museum is housed in the Palau Nacional, a huge, Italian-style building dating to 1929.it’s an amazing walk up the museum. No rush as no much tourists, couldn’t get inside but was able to capture amazing photos.

Reviewed By 810allanc - Ipswich, United Kingdom

Montjuic Hill overlooking Barcelona offers a superb panoramic view over the city and a range of attractions which makes it a full day destination, including the National Art gallery and th 1992 Olympic stadium nearby. More air and breze up here on very hot summer days when the city itself can be oppressive.

MUHBA Refugi 307

The defense civic of Barcelona. 400 meters of one of the anti-air shelters constructed underground during the civil war.

Reviewed By 650jaynew

Travelled with my 12 year old son. Went on the English tour, which was restricted to a small number. The lady taking the tour was clearly passionate about this part of history, and had interviewed people that had originally used the shelter, which added to the history & atmosphere of the place. Great tour & in our top 2 of the places to visit in Barcelona- but you need to book well in advance!

Catalan Museum of Archaeology

Reviewed By TravelinZeus

This museum was very interesting. It displayed artifacts from the region's prehistoric cultures, all the way to the post Roman cultures. There were detailed descriptions in both languages, though some artifacts required the audio guide. But it seemed to to have a lot less exhibits than what was labeled on the map, and it was divided in such a way that we had to backtrack, and I felt like maybe we missed something. Also, we never found the bathroom. But the fee was very cheap, I think only 5 Euros, so I definately recommend it.
