Rating:★★★★★

Fundació Joan Miró
A nice modern museum with loads of works from Miró and special exhibits. Well worth a visit if you like Miró.

Museu Etnològic
A small 1970's etno-museum with loads of interesting objects. Ok it's a bit stuffy and it's a mystery to me why they have some of the objects but it's nice for a late afternoon.

Museu Barbier-Mueller
A great collection of pre-Columbian art. A small museum in a beautiful old location. Highlights from most cultures so well worth a visit!

Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya
The grand museum of Catalan art. A palace filled with loads and loads of beautiful but mostly unknown works!

For other museums look at the photo-albums. If you plan to visit Barcelona and want to use the metro a lot and also visit many museums/sites the BCN-card is a great idea: http://www.barcelona-card.com/?gclid=CIjEu9O9rKICFYUx3godvzlzQA
