★★★★★7 years agoIt costs 13€ but if you are student you have discount and the price is 11.50€ you can pay with credit card. It is one of the best museum in Barcelona!!! It deserves the ticket's price. I recommended it to everyone!

★★★★★Edited a year agoA gorgeous building to visit, but only the lobby is allowed to be visited now , this wasn’t the case years ago. Still worth it.
