Catalonia National Art Museum
Overview
Catalonia's national museum in the domed palace of the 1929 International Exposition on Montjuic. The world's greatest collection of Romanesque frescoes, rescued from Pyrenean churches, fills entire apses. Gothic altarpieces, El Greco, and a Campana modernisme floor complete the sweep.
