About

The Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya is located in the Palau Nacional of Montjuïc, constructed for the International Exposition of 1929. In 1934 it opened its doors as the Museu d'Art de Catalunya, bringing together the medieval collection. Subsequently, in 1995, then as the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, the new rooms of Romanesque art were inaugurated, and in a successive way the public presentation of the collection was extended, a process that ended in 2004 with the integration of modern art.

Mission

The Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, as a public organisation, boosts the social and educational use so as to become a space of knowledge, debate, a social tie and one of participation, placing knowledge, the collection and the resources at the service of the public. The museum aims to show the Catalan artistic expression without chronological limits, and at the same time generate new knowledge, the result of the research and work with other institutions.

The programming of the museum, within its vocation to be a public service, is focused on opening up to new publics; boosting knowledge and research, and a greater national and international projection of the institution. The governing bodies of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya approved the document Strategy and Action Plan 2019-2022 / 2029 (pdf 12.1 Mb) that defines the axes on which the museum's strategy and action plan is focused until 2022:
