A Visit to the MNAC

At Holly´s suggestion, we took a few hours on Friday afternoon to visit the Museu Nacional de Arte Catalan. Since Holly had already purchased an annual membership in mother´s name, I purchased a matching membership and spent the afternoon looking at the world´s finest collection of 11th and 12th century Catalan frescos. As good as the collection is the building, a spectacular palace! The museum also has a great collection of paintings including a good modern art collection.
