The National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC)
This art museum displays works from this region through various periods and includes Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Modern art sections as well as drawings, photography, and other collections. MNAC is perhaps the most important center for Romanesque art in the world. The majority of the sculptures, icons, and frescoes were taken from dilapidated churches in the Pyrénées, restored, and mounted as they would have appeared in the churches in expertly reproduced domes and apses.
