Barcelona museums: Picture the scene, you are standing outside the Sagrada Familia. You take out a crumpled piece of paper from your back-pack with hastily written down notes of attractions to visit in Barcelona. Sagrada Familia (ticked<\/em>), Las Ramblas (ticked<\/em>), the Nou Camp (ticked<\/em>), Park Guell (ticked<\/em>), a trip out to Montserrat (ticked<\/em>). So what next? Museums<\/a>? Really! Don\u2019t be put off, for museums are there to unlock further treasures and Barcelona has some crackers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Casa Batllo<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

\"barcelona-museums-casa-batllo\"<\/p>\n

We start our list with one of Gaudi\u2019s most distinctive pieces, Casa Batllo. If the outside structure doesn\u2019t captivate you then I don\u2019t know what will? Stare at it and you\u2019ll change your opinions about what you see every time! You can go inside and explore too, but don\u2019t disturb the residents that still live there!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Casa Mila<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

Who knew that this place was the inspiration for a storm trooper!? Well it\u2019 was, and it\u2019s not hard to see why when you gaze at the chimneys. If it can inspire George Lucas then I\u2019m sure it can inspire the next generation of film-makers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Joan Miro \u2013 Fundacio Joan Miro<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"barcelona-museums-joan-miro\"<\/p>\n

Gaudi is understandably one of the main reasons for visiting Barcelona, but there are other artists worth seeking out. Joan Miro is referred to as the son of Barcelona, although not as internationally well known, I\u2019m sure you will recognize his work. The Fundacio Joan Miro honours his work and other contemporary artists. Located on Montjuic, you can add plenty of other activities to your fill up your day.<\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Museu Picasso<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Had your fill of Miro and Gaudi? You can always try Picasso<\/a>! Although born in Malaga, he spent his teenage years developing his unique talent in Barcelona. See how he became one of the world\u2019s most recognizable artists. You\u2019ll be going on a surreal journey that\u2019s for sure!<\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Dali Museum<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

If Gaudi, Miro and Picasso weren\u2019t enough then you can also add Dali! That\u2019s quite a quintet! Although the museum is not actually in Barcelona, Figueres in fact.  It\u2019s only a short train journey away and makes for a great excursion. Let\u2019s say it\u2019s worth a day out of the city to explore.<\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"barcelona-museum-nacional\"<\/p>\n

To further quench your Barcelona museums artistic thirst, the MNAC (Museu Nacional d\u2019Art de Catalunya<\/em>), captures 1000 years of art from the region. From Gothic to Renaissance to Modernism, you\u2019ll walk out an art connoisseur after a visit here. Oh, and not to be outdone there\u2019s a great view across the city from the entrance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Museu del Disseny de Barcelona <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Love your design or fashion? Then this museum should be on your scrap paper list of places to visit! To demonstrate just how cool this place is, it\u2019s currently holding a David Bowie retrospective. Enough said. Check the website for what\u2019s on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FC Barcelona Museum – Camp Nou Experience <\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"barcelona-museums-nou-camp\"<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter if you love your soccer or not, visiting the Nou Camp<\/a> is just one excursion that is obligatory to make. Want to really understand what influences Catalan culture and makes the people so proud of their region? Then experience this museum and you will soon learn why. There is no other word to describe the experience than; spectacular<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CosmoCaixa Barcelona<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Not to be outdone from the artistic spectrum, budding scientists can have their fill from the Cosmo Caixa. It will stimulate your mind with its interactive exhibitions and make Einstein\u2019s out of all of us!  Tourism and education, a perfect match.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Museu <\/strong>d’Hist\u00f2ria de Catalunya<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"barcelona-museums-catalunya\"<\/p>\n

We like to have everyone covered, so the only way to really understand what made the Catalan\u2019s who they are today, you need a trip to the Museu d\u2019Historia de Catalunya.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re an art-loving, scientific experimenting, fashion designing, historian. Barcelona museums has a pix n\u2019 mix choice to suit whatever your flavour. So go, explore and discover. <\/strong><\/p>\n

C<\/strong>an\u2019t stop, I\u2019ve got to catch the new modern art exhibition. Ciao!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
