There are many Barcelona art galleries filled with art from famous painters.  The main art galleries in Barcelona are located in the Eixample and near the streets of C. Consell de Cent, Passeig de Gracia, C. Mallorca, and C. Balmes.  One of Barcelona’s most popular museums is the Picasso museum.  Housed in five interconnected medieval palaces in the Barri Gothic, this museum is located in the centre of the old city of Barcelona.  This museum has a rare group of works from the Spanish artist, Pablo Ruiz Picasso.  Picasso is famous for his paintings of urban landscapes and street scenes.  You can also see the series Las Meninas and a large Picasso print collection.  Another museum in Barcelona where you can enjoy wonderful displays of art is the Fundacion Francisco Godia.  The art collection consists of painting, sculptures, and pottery from the Middle Ages to the present. .  Some of these artist’s paintings are from Julio Gonzalez, Maria Blanchard, Antoni Tapies, and Manolo Hugue.

Joan Miro was a painter who was born in Barcelona in 1893.  The museum in Barcelona called the Joan Miro Foundation has hundreds of Miro’s works.  If you like a variety of art, then you’ll enjoy this museum.  You’ll find Miro’s paintings, sculptures, ceramics, theatre, and tapestry.  The multiplicity of materials, forms, and colours was of great interest to him.  He also used simple lines and two-dimensional geometric shapes in his artwork.  Another museum is the Museum National d’ Art Catalunya.  It’s the 7th most visited and popular art museum in Barcelona.  Artworks include Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque.  You can view paintings, carvings, sculptures, metalwork, and enamels.  There’s also an exhibit of the largest anthology of 19th to early 20th century Catalan art in Spain.

If contemporary art is your favourite, then visit the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary art.  It’s the 11th most popular tourist attraction in Barcelona.  Most of the art is from the second half of the 20th century.  Many collections are from Catalan artists such as Antoni Tapies.  There is also artwork from Spanish and international artists.  The artwork dates from the 1950’s and on.  The design of this museum may interest you as much as the art.  American architect Richard Meier made a longitudinal floor plan in which a circular piece articulates display space.  It’s vertically inserted, so it passes throughout all four floors.  Galeria Senda promotes contemporary art.  This art gallery has halls in two buildings.  Old and young artists have their works here.  Jane Hammond and Jose Pedro Croft are some of the foreign painters that have their work displayed here.
