The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya is the national museum of Catalan visual art located in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Situated on Montjuïc hill at the end of Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina, near Pl Espanya, the museum is especially notable for its outstanding collection of romanesque church paintings, and for Catalan art and design from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including modernisme and noucentisme. The Museum is housed in the Palau Nacional, a huge, Italian-style building dating to 1929. The Palau Nacional, which has housed the Museu d'Art de Catalunya since 1934, was declared a national museum in 1990 under the Museums Law passed by the Catalan Government. That same year, a thorough renovation process was launched to refurbish the site, based on plans drawn up by the architects Gae Aulenti and Enric Steegmann, who were later joined in the undertaking by Josep Benedito. The Oval Hall was reopened in 1992 on the occasion of the Olympic Games, and the various collections were installed and opened over the period from 1995 (when the Romanesque Art section was reopened) to 2004. The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (Museu Nacional) was officially inaugurated on 16 December 2004. It is one of the largest museums in Spain.
The MNAC (Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya) offers a fascinating artistic journey: from the best Romanesque collection of mural paintings in the world, to Gothic, Modern and 20th-century Art. The collection includes works by El Greco, Velázquez, Fortuny, Gaudí, Ramon Casas, Julio González and Dalí, amongst others.
The Museum is housed in the Palau Nacional (1929), with spectacular views over Barcelona.
Built for the International Exhibition in Barcelona (1929), the Palau Nacional has borne witness to the history of this city. Strategically located on the side of the mountain of Montjuïc, it overlooks the city, which lies at its feet. Originally planned by Josep Puig i Cadafalch and built by Pere Domènech i Roura, Eugeni P. Cendoya and Enric Catà, it is clear example of the Beaux-Arts style of architecture.
