Barcelona Museums

There are so many museums, galleries and art exhibits in Barcelona, it's hard to know where to begin! To help you sort it out, we've identified the "major" Barcelona museums - in other words, the "must-sees" and most prestigious- plus the "minor" ones, among which you'll find a number of gems as well.

Given that Barcelona has such a strong cultural scene, it's only logical that there are a handful of great cultural centers as well. On any given day you're sure to find a film series, special lecture, temporary exhibit or workshop related to a variety of topics.
