Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya
Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (Palau Nacional, Parc de Montjuic, Barcelona) – this is the national museum of Catalan visual art (a.k.a. MNAC), which was established in 1934. MNAC is known for its Renaissance and Baroque collections, including the works of great painters, such as El Greco, Zurbarán, Velázquez, Cranach, and Rubens. The MNAC art collections from the end of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century are mostly made up of the work of Catalan artists, forming a discourse which explains Modernisme, Noucentisme and the Avant-garde, always taking into account all the arts.
