The MNAC is in the street!


Walking around Barcelona you might be surprised to see pictures of Catalan paintings placed somewhere that has some connection with the subject of the painting. For instance, beside the gorgeous Gratacós fabric store in Passeig de Gràcia stands a colorfully dressed Granada girl by Anglada Camarassa. Or next to the city council in Plaça Sant Jaume, the gothic retable of the Verge dels Consellers (Madonna of the Counselers) by Lluís Dalmau. All of the paintings can be seen in their original version at the MNAC, but at the Museum they have decided to bring their collections to the street so everyone can enjoy them as they walk around the city. What a wonderful idea!
