Barcelona Travel―Visiting National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC)

Placa d'Espanya is one of Barcelona's most important squares, built on the occasion of the 1929 International Exhibition, held at the foot of Montjuïc and leads to the Palau Nacional through Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina, which houses one of Catalonia's finest museums, the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC). It was designed by Josep Amargós.[1]

The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya is the national museum of Catalan visual art located in Barcelona, Spain. Situated on Montjuïc hill, 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.

In the winter of 2019, I've visited MNAC twice on different days.  For the entrance, I need to pay on the first day (12/17/2019).  But, on the 2nd visit, it's a Saturday (12/21/2019) and was free.
