14 Best Museums in Barcelona | Condé Nast Traveler

"In-the-know art lovers congregate at Palau Gomis on Saturdays for one of MEAM’s weekly classical or blues concerts amidst the collection—one method, along with theater and sculpture courses, by which MEAM calls itself a "living museum." From unnervingly photorealistic portraits to provocative, multi-layered paintings, the works here are deliberately chosen to stay with you long after you visit, and the curation really succeeds with that." - Gemma Askham

I enjoyed Contemporary Representational Art Exibition — so realistic it gives you goosebumps! I was the only person in the whole museum for an hour, feels like magic, calm and deep. “Nonato” from the Dreams and temptations exibition just stole my heart 💔!

Great museum showing amazing realism art inside of a beautiful building. I went at 6 and had the whole museum to myself. Great hidden gem in Barcelona. 30 minutes to an hour experience.

Awesome! For me, definitely the best out the three museums (Picasso, Moco and MEAM) I visited so far in Barcelona. It features many great sculptures and ultra realistic painting which I adore. The museum is hugely underrated and deserves way more attention. During me visit there were no more than 15 people in the museum. Buying tickets in advance might thus not be necessary.

This place is a gem! My favourite museum in Barcelona so far. If you like realism this is your place. I loved everything in this museum. It’s not so big, I could see everything in aprox 1h15, and it has 3 floors. It also has very clean toilets! The staff is very kind, and before you start, they explain to you what contains in each floor. I went during the week, so it wasn’t crowded at all! I definitely recommend this place!!!

A fairly somber modern art museum. we do not regret visiting this at all. However, this type of art was not necessary out type as much. Unexpected Highlights: - some of the most beautiful bathrooms I’ve seen in a museum? - seeing a live painting class going on, that made the museum feel much more alive and connected to modernity.

I recently visited this lovely art museum located in the heart of El Born, and I had a fantastic experience. The museum had two shows, Mimesis and Moportait, and I was truly inspired by the selection of works. The technical quality of each piece was exceptional. Each piece had something unique about it. If you have an appreciation for classical arts and figurative works, this museum is a must-visit. The location in El Born adds to the overall charm of the museum.

The Picasso museum was sold out, so I went to this pleasant surprise. Definitely worthwhile a visit . I liked many pieces more than the masterpieces you see in the “official” museums. Very entertaining.

This place it was a total surprise, beside the Wonderful historical building from the year 1600, there are inside a collection of Such talented artists with figurative realistic And sometimes hyper-realistic painting to really be astonishing. After more than Three hours inside i could still find pieces of art in the toilets entrance! Toilets (clean) that you can find on different floors with different art inside. What an afternoon in awe that I passed. Recommended AF.
