Museumsbeschreibung

The rooms dedicated to Pre-Colombian Art in the Barbier-Mueller Museum invite the viewer to contemplate the works as key expressions of the cultures they represent. The collection covers most of the styles that exist 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, on both national and international levels, was transferred by the Barbier-Mueller Museum of Geneva (Switzerland) to the City of Barcelona.

The Museum is situated in an edifice of medieval origin, the Palau Nadal, in the historic Montcada Street, opposite the Picasso Museum of Barcelona.
