Culture and museums

The Tourism Museum is a unique establishment at a world level, focusing on the cultural and economic impact of world tourism. A visit to the museum is like taking a walk through the history of tourism, from the experience of the first travellers and explorers to the present state of tourism. In addition, through the tour of the different spaces, visitors take part in an emotional approach to everything the trip represents concerning the discovery of new ways of doing things and thinking and the treasures offered by travel. Come and experience it!

The Picasso Room of the Fundació Palau permanently exhibits a highly varied collection of Picasso's works, from the painter's beginnings in La Llotja (Barcelona’s School of Fine Arts) until the last years of his life. It is undoubtedly the most valuable part of the Foundation, since Picasso is, according to Palau, “the greatest creator of all time.”
