National Museum of Art of Catalonia

The National Museum of Art of Catalonia was created in 1990 as a result of the unification of the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Art of Catalonia.nRomanik collection is considered one of the most comprehensive in the world. Its basis is formed by a unique department of Romanesque frescoes, displayed on the corresponding architectural background. In addition, the collection includes a voluminous collection of wood painting and wooden sculpture. His collection has about 236,000 works. The core of the Gothic collection of the museum consists of Catalan easel painting and sculpture. Baroque and Renaissance art is represented more modestly due to the lesser importance of Catalonia in that period. The collection of art nouveau painting combines famous works of Catalan art of the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries. The museum has a numismatic and engraving departments, as well as a universal and art library.
