Narodowe muzeum sztuki Katalonii mieści się w Palau Nacional, wzniesionym na Międzynarodową Wystawę w 1929 roku; od 1934 roku przechowuje tam swoje zbiory. Słynie przede wszystkim z romańskich malowideł ściennych z kościołów, przeniesionych z pirenejskich świątyń w latach 1919–1923, a zwłaszcza z fresku w apsydzie Sant Climent de Taüll. Kolekcja obejmuje także malarstwo gotyckie, renesansowe i barokowe, a następnie kataloński modernisme, noucentisme, fotografię oraz sztukę z okresu hiszpańskiej wojny domowej. Tarasy na dachu oferują panoramiczny widok na Barcelonę.
