Is MNAC – National Art Museum of Catalonia worth it for history buffs?

Worth itFor history

For history & culture, MNAC – National Art Museum of Catalonia delivers.

Medieval frescoes rehung in reconstructed church apses are genuinely moving, and the building is jaw-dropping. The collection is vast enough to exhaust you, and the Montjuïc hill takes some effort.
