Barcelona Art Season — Discover Miró, Picasso & a City of Culture

Joan Miró’s Luna, sol y una estrella (1968)

Barcelona is evolving, and it’s more inspiring than ever. Once seen mainly as a party destination, the city is now positioning itself as a world-class cultural capital. Travelers with a passion for art, architecture, and heritage are at the heart of this renaissance.

At the center of the change is Barcelona Art Season, an initiative by Turisme de Barcelona and the city’s top museums. The program includes special exhibitions, major renovations, and a bold goal: celebrate Barcelona’s deep artistic roots while welcoming travelers who come for creativity, not just nightlife.

A City of Picasso, Miró… and You

Barcelona was home to legendary artists like Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró, and their legacy is now stepping into the spotlight. The season opened with the acclaimed Miró–Matisse exhibition and continues with highlights such as:

  • “Exchanges: Miró and the United States” – Joan Miró Foundation
  • “Ubü the Painter” – Picasso Museum
  • “Sean Scully” – at Gaudí’s La Pedrera
  • “Zurbarán (super) Natural” – National Museum of Catalan Art (MNAC)

The city is also investing heavily in culture:
🎨 €100M to renovate MNAC
🏛️ €5M to expand the MACBA (Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona)


A Smarter Way to Explore Barcelona

Barcelona is embracing cultural tourism. While other cities struggle with overtourism, Barcelona invites visitors to discover more meaningful experiences. Cultural tourists spend 38% more and stay 22% longer than the average visitor. In 2024 alone, total tourist spending rose by 8.7%, reaching €10 billion.

Instead of following the crowds, why not follow the art?
