Museums in Barcelona

If you are an art tourist and wanna see more, Barcelona is a great place to start. You can visit lots of pieces by Gaudi, Dali and Picasso. The most famous and symbolic one is Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudi´s non-finished work. The temple which has been started building in 1882 will probably be finished in 30 years time. It is the landmark of the city and is being visited by 2.000.000 tourists in a year. In the temple, there is also a Gaudi Museum, where you can be informed about his life, his inspirations and his other works. Other Museums about Gaudi: La Pedrera, Casa Batllo, Casa de Gaudi in Parc Guell

Another stop would be Teatre Museu Dali which is a little bit outside of Barcelona in Figueres
but not a place to miss. Dali, known as a genius in many aspects, presenting most of his work,
in this house´designed by himself. You can see the famous eggs on the roof, the Rainy Cadillac in the front yard

and various paintings such as Basket of Bread, Self-Portrait with l’Humanité and more.
More you walk in Barcelona, the more you get a chance to bump into an artist. Another one is
Picasso, presented by some of his pieces in the center of the city. The museum was opened in 1963,
with the support of the City Council and Picasso´s personal secretary Jaume Sabartes. Here, you
can see some part of his collection with a masterpiece Harlequin which was donated by the artist himself.

Barcelona is the most beautiful city of Spain. There are many different and cognitive museums. For example: “The mammoth museum of Barcelona”. There is a varied collection of prehistoric animal skeletons and other remains of the Ice Age. Visitors can touch the teeth and tusk of a mammoth and to see the cave paintings that decorate the walls and ceilings. Also there are a lot of great products from mammoth ivory.
