This was a fabulous way to spend a few hours. Very striking building and the park around it was good to walk around. Museum is very good value (remember to use your discount tickets if you did the bus tour). Excellent museum.

Built as a National Palace in 1929 it contains both majestic centre rooms and smaller rooms for most of the collections. My favourite collection was that of the Romanesque murals and scultures. They are stunningly displayed and... More

The museum building is beatiful - you can enjoy it just looking its architecture. And the inside is even better! I visited with Barcelona card so I got it for "free". It takes a lot of time and walking to see everything - but it is totally worth it. I have never seen so many beatufiul arts, painting in sculpture... More

It was a lovely way to spend a wet day. The museum building itself is a magnificent work of art and well worth the visit. By the way, seniors go in for free. There is no way one can see every thing, so we zoomed into the areas that interest us, like modern art. Hopefully we can come again for... More

The building is in a stunning setting with views across the city. There is so much to see in the surrounding area make it a day trip and go to the olypic parc, the magic fountain, botanical garden, cable car, etc Within the Nacional d'Art there are some wonderful things to see including the building itself.

The large building is set on an expansive hill overlooking the magic fountain and the city. There are many enjoyable steps to get to the top from all of which you can enjoy the view, but of course you can go by car, taxi or bus and still get a magnificent view and see the building. There is a small... More

The museum is large but divided in different sections of Romanic, Gothic and Modernist art. The Romanic frescoes that were removed from their original locations are beautiful and the ambience feels religious as well. The audio guides are excellent.

The building houses four different areas covering several periods. I'm not the greatest art appreciators so some of it was A little bit too much. But worth a visit, especially for the view out the front
