The National Art Museum of Catalunya, also known as MNAC, is a place where all types of art, such as sculpture, paintings, objects, drawings. pictures, posters and photography are exhibited. It was created with the idea of explaining the history of Catalan art that goes from the Romanic period up to midway through last century.
The ones that shape up the Romanic art are, above all, composed by works that belong to Catalan artists while the Gothic ones are compared to works which were done by famous people from other parts of Spain.
It also possesses Renaissance and Baroque paintings from well-known artists such as El Greco, Zurbarán, Velázquez, Cranach and Rubens among many others and, through all of them, they explain modernism and “noucentisme”.
All museums in the world are shaped up with different collections but one particularity of MNAC is that its founders tried that those collections were explained and that the spectators could not just enjoy the art but also understand it. For this reason there are constantly exhibitions which one can learn the history of what they are observing.
One of the best things about MNAC is the diversity of works of great artists. All the art lovers should walk through its galleries and if you consider yourself one of them you can rent apartments in Barcelona and not miss out on the chance of getting to know it.
