FREE ACCESS MUSEUMS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

free days<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For example, the National Museum of Art of Catalonia (MNAC), <\/strong>in Montju\u00efc, which opens its doors at no cost every Saturday afternoon. The same could be said of the CCCB, <\/strong>dedicated to contemporary art; the Picasso Museum, <\/strong>the Blau Museum, <\/strong>with collections around the natural sciences, or the various venues of the Barcelona History Museum (MUHBA)<\/strong>, which can be visited for free on Sunday afternoons. As for the Palau G\u00fcell<\/strong>, invitations are distributed on the first Sunday of each month in the morning. However, keep in mind that there may be specific changes in the free hours depending on the time of year, as is often the case with the Picasso Museum in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SPECIAL DAYS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
International Museum Day<\/strong> (March 18), Nit dels Museus<\/strong> (at the end of May) and Merc\u00e8<\/strong> (September 24) are three dates in which museums and some buildings -like La Pedrera<\/strong>– can visit without having to go through the box office. If your trip to Barcelona coincides with these dates, we advise you to inform yourself on the City Council’s website about the institutions included in the program. In addition, some of them can be visited in a special way, since the rest of the year it remains closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Added to this list are the free access art galleries<\/strong>, such as those that are concentrated in the emblematic street of Petritxol, in the G\u00f2tic or Gothic quarter. In the same way, it is necessary to mention that some emblematic monuments, such as the Casa Ametller<\/strong>, located next to Gaud\u00ed’s Casa Batll\u00f3, or the modernist building of Hospital de la Santa Creu and Sant Pau<\/strong>, are free for those in possession of an access pass. As for Park G\u00fcell<\/strong>, the monumental zone can be visited free of charge if a resident’s card is produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
