Art Galleries

Art for every taste and on every corner
Word to the wise: If you'd rather buy than browse, head to the L'Eixample neighbourhood where numerous commercial art galleries line the streets.

Barcelona has no shortage of major art galleries, including the Picasso Museum, the Joan Miró museum and the Dalí Museum (just outside town). But the smaller galleries offer a quieter, more off-the-beaten-path experience. Pop in to one of the following:
Galeria Brok: One of the best galleries in the city, displaying ancient art and paintings, and selling antique furniture from Spain and the rest of Europe.

Galeria d'Art Manuel Barbié: Gallery in the L'Eixample neighbourhood specialising in ancient art. Exhibits include paintings, sculptures, drawings and archaeological artifacts.

Centre Cultural Fundació La Caixa: Unusual, modernist building housing paintings, sculptures, ceramics and photographs by national and international artists.
