Barcelona - Art and Culture

Barcelona is known throughout the world as a cultural city, and its museums house a very valuable heritage and a permanent and exciting range of activities. Over 40 museums: monographic art collections such as the Museu Picasso, the Fundació Joan Miró and the Fundació Antoni Tàpies which hold permanent exhibitions of works, as well as the world's finest collection of Romanesque art at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, temporary exhibitions of contemporary art at the MACBA, the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, and numerous art galleries.

In addition to displaying their own collections and hosting a wide range of temporary exhibitions, the primary function of Barcelona's museum is the conservation and popularising of that heritage, encouraging different sections of the public to get to know it by means of exhibitions and hands-on activities such as itineraries and evening visits, workshops for schools, courses and cycles of lectures and live music are coming more and more to configure the idea of the museum as a driving force of the city's cultural dynamic.
