Named a national museum in 1990, this is the world's greatest collection of Romanesque mural paintings and home also to an impressive array of 14th and 15th century Gothic art. The MACBA is also known for its unique installations with exhibits from around the world as well as Spanish and Catalan centric pieces. The building itself is quite beautiful with a few stories, each often hosting it's own exhibit. Every year the international photography exhibit is held in the MACBA along with other internationally renowned shows. The MACBA is a short stroll or very cheap and quick taxi ride from the cruise port.
