Art, and culture in general, is expressed everywhere. Museums and temporary exhibition halls offer us culture in high doses. If we want to immerse ourselves in the world of art, in its languages that go beyond the word and its direct meaning, Barcelona is an excellent provider. Here, no doubt, you will get your dose. Few cities in the world host so many museums and such varied, also having several foundations dedicated to international artists (Picasso, Miró and Tàpies) and several temporary exhibition centers such as the CCCB and CaixaForum Barcelona. On this page you will find the most important art museums and exhibition halls in Barcelona, but also other types of museums such as those dedicated to sport or history, and some curious ones such as the Chocolate Museum.

The FC Barcelona museum (one of the most visited in Barcelona) we have included in the page dedicated to the Camp Nou Experience and the Cosmocaixa, the science museum, in the family activities page (although it is a perfectly recommended museum also for adults without children). Several of the museums and temporary exhibition halls are true monuments, such as La Pedrera or the MNAC, or are located in buildings whose design is worth contemplating. So you have two options: just outside, or outside and inside. For those who want to enter and enjoy collections and temporary exhibitions, remember that there is a specific discount card for art. Its name, of course, Articket.
