    What a magnificent museum. From the history to the artefacts, it paints a wonderfully clear picture of Catalonia, from its finest moments to its most difficult chapters, all of which have shaped what we see today. Thought provoking, beautifully presented, and highly recommended for anyone with even a passing fondness for history.

    This is a wonderful museum. Coming from the States, I knew very little of Catalonya history. This museum gave an in depth chronological history that gave me a wonderful insight to the wonderful place that is Catalonya and it's people. Highly recommend!
