🔷Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya🔷

The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (Catalan pronunciation: [muˈzɛw nəsi.uˈnal ˈdaɾd də kətəˈluɲə], English: "National Art Museum of Catalonia"), abbreviated as MNAC, is the national museum of Catalan visual art located in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Situated on Montjuïc hill at the end of Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina, near Pl Espanya, the museum is especially notable for its outstanding collection of romanesque church paintings, and for Catalan art and design from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including modernisme and noucentisme. The museum is housed in the Palau Nacional, a huge, Italian-style building dating to 1929. The Palau Nacional, which has housed the Museu d'Art de Catalunya since 1934, was declared a national museum in 1990 under the Museums Law passed by the Catalan Government. That same year, a thorough renovation process was launched to refurbish the site, based on plans drawn up by the architects Gae Aulenti and Enric Steegmann, who were later joined in the undertaking by Josep Benedito. The Oval Hall was reopened in 1992 on the occasion of the Olympic Games, and the various collections were installed and opened over the period from 1995 (when the Romanesque Art section was reopened) to 2004. The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (Museu Nacional) was officially inaugurated on 16 December 2004. It is one of the largest museums in Spain.

🔷CaixaForum Barcelona🔷

CaixaForum is a cultural center managed by the "la Caixa" Foundation . Located on the mountain of Montjuïc (Barcelona), it occupies the building of the old Casaramona , a modernist- style factory designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch at the beginning of the 20th century and subsequently rehabilitated for its new use as a cultural center.
CaixaForum offers a wide program of exhibitions and cultural and educational activities aimed at all audiences. It is part of a network of CaixaForum centers that spans various points in the Spanish geography: CaixaForum Madrid , CaixaForum Lleida , CaixaForum Palma , CaixaForum Tarragona , CaixaForum Girona , CaixaForum Zaragoza and CaixaForum Seville .

🔷Pavelló alemany🔷

The German Pavilion , designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich , was the representative building of Germany at the Barcelona International Exposition held in 1929. Conceived as a representative space to house the official reception chaired by King Alfonso XIII to the German authorities, the building was intended to symbolize the progressive and democratic character of the new Weimar Republic and its recovery after the First World War.
This building constitutes one of the milestones in the history of modern architecture, as it is a work where the ideas of the then nascent Modern Movement are captured with particular forcefulness and freedom , and is considered by many authors as one of the four canonical pieces of the modern architecture movement along with the building of the Bauhaus of Gropius , the Villa Savoye of Le Corbusier and cascade House of Wright .
The pavilion was dismantled after the exhibition in 1930, and later rebuilt in the 1980s in its original location, in Montjuïc , where it remains open to the public.
