Barbier-Mueller Museum of Precolombian Art
The rooms of the Museu Barbier-Mueller d'Art Precolombí invite the viewer to contemplate the works as key expressions of the cultures they represent.
The collection covers most of the styles that existed in the pre-Hispanic cultures of Meso-America, Central America, Andean America and the Amazon region.
The sculptures, ceramics, fabrics and ritual objects on display take us back to a time when the unforeseen discovery of a new continent transformed our understanding of the world.
One of the most prestigious collections in the world, donated by the Barbier-Mueller Museum of Geneva (Switzerland) to the city of Barcelona.
The museum is located in a building of medieval origin, the Nadal Palace, in the historic Montcada street, opposite the Picasso Museum.
