Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya – Barcelona

Why go

The Barcelona galleries place local finds beside prehistoric, Greek, Phoenician and Roman material, so the city becomes part of a wider Mediterranean story. The building adds another layer: it was constructed as the Palace of Graphic Arts for the 1929 International Exposition. Come for the objects, then notice how a twentieth-century exhibition palace frames much older histories.

What to look for

• The long-term galleries move through prehistoric and Mediterranean cultures.
• The museum occupies the former Palace of Graphic Arts from the 1929 International Exposition.

Useful to know

• Allow time for the permanent galleries rather than treating the museum as a quick Montjuïc viewpoint stop.
• Combine it with another Montjuïc site if you want the hill's twentieth-century history as well.
