Travel & Tourism, A Guide to the Art Galleries of Barcelona, Spain
To start with, there is the Fundación Francisco Godia. This gallery displays a broad array of paintings, sculptures and pottery. Some of the pieces that must be seen in this particular gallery include old, Romanesque sculptures, and some pottery from the Middle Ages.
Arguably one of the best art galleries in the city of Barcelona, the Galería Brok has a timeless collection of ancient art and old paintings. Additionally, if one wishes to buy an antique piece of furniture, the gallery hosts a sale for some unique pieces, even featuring pieces from other countries in Europe.
Galería d´Art Manuel Barbié is another art gallery that has focused on ancient pieces of art. Art lovers will find the gallery in the L'Eixample area of the city, along with many other galleries. The pieces showcased here are mainly paintings, sculptures, drawings and archaeological artefacts.
The exhibits at the Centre Cultural Fundació La Caixa are mainly of paintings, sculptures, ceramics and photographs. The Centre Cultural Fundació La Caixa art gallery has been set up in a modernist building, which is supposed to be one of the most unusual buildings in Barcelona.
Fundació Joan Miró is housed in one of the greatest examples of museum architecture in the world. Designed by Josep Lluís Sert, the building exudes approachability and dispels the common mustiness of a museum. This gallery houses the work of the famous Spanish artist, Joan Miró. The collection spans around 225 paintings, 150 sculptures, Miró's graphic work, and around 5,000 drawings. The gallery also contains work that has been donated by 20th-century artists.
The Picasso Museum is a true tribute to the mastery of the great artist. The gallery spans a row of medieval mansions. Although the collection doesn't showcase all his work, it functions as a record of the formative years of Picasso that were spent at La Llotja art school, hobnobbing with the Catalonia's fin-de-siècle avant-garde. The real showstopper piece in this gallery is the complete series of 57 canvases based on Velázquez's famous Las Meninas, which were donated by Picasso himself.
