| The National Art Museum of Catalonia is a museum of Catalan visual art located in Barcelona, Spain. It is housed on the Palau Nacional, built for the 1929 World's Fair. Situated on the Montjuīc hill, it was rehabilitated by the 1992 Summer Olympics. The museum was created in 1990, when the Catalonian Museum Law reunited the collections of the former Museu d'Art de Catalunya and the Museu d'Art Modern, adding also the Gabinet de Dibuixos i Gravats, the Gabinet Numismātic de Catalunya and the Biblioteca d'Histōria de l'Art. On 1996, the Department of Photography was created. The museum opened in 1995, with the Romanesque art section. The Gothic art section was opened on 1997, while the Renaissance, Baroque, 19th century and 20th century collections opened on 2000. The official opening, with the building completely rehabilitated and all the collections in place, was in 2004, with the presence of the King and Queen of Spain. |
