One Museum, 1.000 years of art. The MNAC, Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya,  takes visitors on an uninterrupted journey through a thousand years of Catalan art, spanning the 10th to the 20th centuries.

The museum is in the Palau Nacional, the emblematic building of the 1929 International Exhibition situated on the mountain of Montjuïc, from where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the city of Barcelona. 

The extensive collection of medieval art (Romanesque and Gothic) makes it one of the country's foremost museums. The holdings of Romanesque frescoes are unique both in terms of quantity and quality, and include paintings take from the apses of churches and reconstructed in situ.

The museum's holdings of Renaissance and baroque art include part of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, formerly housed in Pedralbes Monastery.

Highlights of the modern art collection, which used to be in the Museu d'Art Modern, include works from such noteworthy movements as Catalonia's home-grown art nouveau - modernisme - and the sculptural avant-garde, and includes, for the first time, photography from its origins to the present day. Part of Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza's collection of 19th- and 20th-century art has also been added to the museum's holdings.

The coin collection provides an insight into the history of coins from Ancient Greece onwards.
