A one of a kind display, Barcelona's Picasso Museum is located in a series of Renaissance era palaces, remodeled for the purpose of honoring the revolutionary artist whose Bohemian roots were here. The museum will surprise many visitors who may be unaware of Picasso's incredible virtuosity in classical painting during adolescence. |

The Miró Foundation celebrates the work of Barcelona's emblematic abstract artist, whose idiosyncratic style has penetrated the graphic life of the city at seemingly every level.

Fascinating archaeological excavation, which has uncovered the old Ribera neighborhood, demolished between 1716 and 1718 to make way for a grand citadel, to secure the city. The dig sheds light on a long arc of Barcelona history, having so far revealed 8,000 sq. meters of the lost Ribera barrio. The Mercado del Born itself will be converted into a library, and a cultural center is due to open in 2006. "El Born" means tournament, referring to medieval jousts held there, and is a barrio now again getting people's attention. |
