Night of the Museums: Barcelona Museums Day 2019

Free Museums Night Barcelona

Ann Marie Brannigan 9 Comments

One of my favourite nights of the year in Barcelona is fast approaching: The Night of the Museums. This free late-night viewing of exhibitions is not only exclusive to my city but is part of a wider initiative across Europe. It doesn’t matter if you are a local or a visitor. It is a great activity for all and in 2019 it will take part all around the city on May 18th, from 7 pm until 1 am. This year is also quite special as there is a full moon in Barcelona that night.

Like every year, some venues will include special activities, live performances and music. I love this night. There is something so special about entering these cultural venues late in the evening, sometimes with live music playing and with rooms full of people chatting. In my eyes, it adds a lively light on the exhibits and you view them through a more fun perspective. So put your glam rags on and follow some of my suggestions of what I think are some of the more interesting things on offer from 2019 Night of the Museums programme (Spanish or Catalan only).

Montjuรฏc Castle

This fortress overlooking the city has a long history closely linked to the city and has played a role in some of its darkest moments. Not only are there guided tours of areas usually closed to the public (like the dungeons) but you can also enjoy contemporary art exhibits, food trucks and music from 7 pm to 1 am. It takes a little longer to get to than some of the other places, so you might like to take in some of the views in the beautiful gardens close by. Among other exhibits, there is a Lost Memory 1936-1975 – showcasing the work of the photographer Miquel Gonzร lez. This includes 40 photographs of Spain where the photographer captures lost memories of the Civil War.

Fundaciรณ Joan Mirรณ

The exceptional white modern Mediterranean structure holds a great collection of Mirรณ’s work. The artist was alive at the time of the construction and had a say in its design. Youโ€™ll be admiring the architecture alongside contemporary art.

[soliloquy id=”7045″]

Museu Nacionalย  dโ€™Art de Catalunya (MNAC)

This magnificent palace was built in 1929 for the international exhibition and has fabulous night time views of the city. Its Romanesque mural collection is recognized as one of the best in Europe. The Gothic Art section also packs a great punch. Modern collections can be found on the upper floor. For this special evening, there will be a marching band, a live concert by local singer Monique Makon and even a detective game for the young ones. If Art is your thing, we recommend the temporary exhibition showing the works of 15th-century master Bartolomรฉ Bermejo. Admission is free from 7 pm to 1 am.

Botanic Gardens

If nature is on your agenda, head towards Barcelona’s Botanical Gardens. With the theme “All the Mediterraneans in the world”, they offer guided visits (don’t forget to bring a torch!) with several turns from 9 pm to 12 am. May 18th is also full moon so there will be astronomical observations of the moon with musical accompaniment.

Caixa Forum

One of the best art centres in the city, head over there and enjoy an array of activities. There are exhibitions including Max Beckmann and Alexander “The Great”, animation short films (7.30 pm & 9.30 pm) and a concert of Jazz standards with Gerard Nieto Reunion Three.

From lโ€™Eixample to Grร cia:

Museu del Modernisme de Barcelona - Night of the Museums

Fundaciรณ Antoni Tร pies

Tร pies was a controversial artist that isnโ€™t to everyoneโ€™s taste. He is famous for using other materials rather than oil paint on his canvases. The collection is housed in a building by Domรจnech I Montaner, one of the earlier works in Catalan Art Nouveau period. I like how Tร pies has heightened the building by placing a contrasting stylised sculpture of a cloud and chair on top. Take a look and see what you think.

Egyptian Museum

Nothing is missing in Barcelona, not even a museum dedicated to the world of ancient Egypt. There is a free entrance to the permanent collection, including over 1,000 pieces but, if this is not enough, you can also visit the very interesting temporary exhibition about the discovery of Tutankhamon’s tomb.

Museu del Modernisme de Barcelona

Have a peek at the under-appreciated Catalan Art Nouveau Museum. It houses a superb collection of Art furniture and other decorative elements and it is not so large that it will wear you out.

From the Gothic Quarter to the sea:

Museu de Cultures del Mรณn - Nit dels Museus Barcelona

Museu Etnolรฒgic i de Cultures del Mรณn

Travel through cultures from Asia, the Americas, Africa and Oceania at one of Barcelona’s newest additions. If you stop to marvel at all the pieces, you’ll be there all night, so I’d recommend focusing your visit to the regions that really interest you. This year among other exhibits there is “Ifni. The African mile of the Catalans”,ย an examination of the history of a small wild Spanish enclave on the coast of Morocco.

Museu Frederic Marรจs

This is an enchanting museum which houses an artist’s lifetime collection of objects. Greek stone sculptures to wooden virgins reside in this old palace which has a beautiful original courtyard. Donโ€™t miss the top two floors which display anything from naked lady pipes to weird walking sticks to vintage comic strips to elegant Art Nouveau jewellery.

CCCB โ€“ Centre de Cultura Contemporร nia de Barcelona

This Art centre is right in the heart of the Raval district and it houses the World Press Photo annually. This is a great opportunity to see some of the best images from last year’s top press photographers. If that doesn’t float your boat, you have “Poetry Slam Barcelona”, a poetry contest from 9 pm to 11 pm.

From El Raval to the port:

La Virreina Image Centre

Housed in an 18th-century palace in the middle of la Rambla, this centre offers regular exhibitions and activities. In 2019 the highlight is the exhibition “People of the 20th century” by German photographer August Sander,ย  a social portrait of the everyday German citizens from the 1920s to the 1950s.

Museu Marรญtim de Barcelona

An old shipbuilding yard now turned museum, gives a fun and interesting view of maritime life in Barcelona. From the everyday routine of sailors to actual ships on show as well as temporary exhibitions, this space is large enough to house them all. To the side of this building (on Paralยทlel street) is the best surviving part of Barcelonaโ€™s defensive medieval wall. You can visit the exhibits from 7 pm to 1 am and, in addition, you can enjoy the music of the lโ€™Escola de Mรบsics with an orchestra of more than 100 musicians.

Museu D’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA)

This modern building really suits the array of modern contemporary works that pass through its concrete corridors. Check it out if you are into the modern art scene. There are a variety of activities, including an exhibition of Christian Marclay plus the artist-musician himself performing at the museum.

Filmoteca de Catalunya

I love the minimal design of this great cinema where you can catch world films in original version. For this evening they are treating people to some Charley Chaplin, a 1911 version of Pinocchio and the 1934 classic Mutiny on the Bounty! Whatever you choose I would arrive early to get a spot.

Santa Coloma โ€“ Badalona โ€“ Sant Adriร  โ€“ Fรฒrum โ€“ Glรฒries โ€“ Sant Andreu:

Free Museums Night Barcelona - Museu Blau
Exhibit at Barcelona’s Museu Blau (Natural History Museum)

Museu Blau (Natural History Museum)

Always a hit with the young ones (and the not so young), this modern building houses a permanent collection interpreting the Earth today as well as different temporary exhibitions, from photography to nutrition.

Museu del Disseny de Barcelona (Disseny Hub building at Glรฒries)

This is an impressive structure built to re-house the city’s ceramics, decorative arts and textile works. There is a selection of different exhibitions to choose from as well as the permanent collections.

Horta โ€“ Sant Gervasi โ€“ Pedralbes โ€“ Esplugues โ€“ Cornellร :

Pedralbes Monastery Gothic Cloister - Barcelona Night of the museums

Santa Maria de Pedralbes Royal Monastery

Founded in 1937, this is the hidden jewel of the Catalan Gothic style. The church, monastery and gardens are open for a free visit this night but, if you want to dig deeper, there will be 45 minute guided tours to get a glimpse of monastic life in medieval times.

Museu FC Barcelona (Camp Nou)

For all you football fans out there, come visit the stadium’s museum of the most famous football team in the world. Not into the sport myself, however, I am quite impressed by the scale and proud exhibits of this club.

That sums up my recommendations for the evening so go out, have fun and take part in that special cultural night during the spring in Barcelona. Don’t forget also that most public museums are free on Sundays and that our daily Barcelona Free Walking Toursย will be running as usual, twice a day. If you are here for more days you can also check our tips for things to do in Barcelona in May.

We had a wonderful tour of the Gothic Quarter led by Ann-Marie. She was very knowledgeable and engaging. This tour was ideal way to start our first visit to Barcelona. I can't recommend this tour enough.

Lisa was spectacular. She was very knowledgeable, kind and she went at a great pace. She gave us so much information that helped us understand the history of Catalonia but she went further to help us connect to the... culture of Catalonia today. Lisa took the time to answer questions and gave us great tips to make the most of our trip. She also has great recommendations for restaurants, places to see and how to get around. The tour was great and Lisa was really terrific.read more

We took a 2 1/2 hour walking tour of the Gothic quarter with Anne-Marie from Runner Bean tours. She was incredibly knowledgeable and obviously passionate about both the city where she lives and the history! Full of... information and details about every site we visited and we heard so much thatโ€™s not included in any other trip. Very interactive with the group and put every single person at ease. She was an absolute mine of local information and recommendations at the end - which we personally used for meals and other sites to visit. These guys work on a donation system and be prepared to give them every euro that you feel they are worth. We took two of their tours and they were the highlight of our trip to Barcelona!!read more

I showed up on an earlier day for my city tour and Lisa was nice enough to let me join anyway. Her presentation was both enlightening and fun. She had personal stories and on the spot observations to share which made it... feel fresh. Her diction was very easy to understand and she was pleasant to listen to. Believe me I have been on some tours where the guides had annoying pet phrases like 'alright?' 'um' etc.. that can be tiresome to listen to for 2.5 hours. Lisa took personal interest in her guests and made the effort to talk to us individually whenever possible. Her food suggestions were great. I highly recommend going on her tour!read more

We had a very informative, well researched and extremely interesting tour with Miguel today of Runner Bean Tours. He pointed out interesting facts we would never discovered on our own, not to mention little known... facts. It was highly informative. Do yourself a favor, and sign up for one of the tours. We have been on two now, and weโ€™ll worth the time! You will enjoy Miguel, a very personable person and a great guide. He will make you fall in love with Barcelona.read more

I booked the group tour for the Gothic quarter but obviously due to the current circumstances I was the only one on the tour. Hence, my fantastic tour guide Lisa gave me a private tour and it was super interesting. I... really learned a lot and it's a great way of discovering Barcelona. Highly recommended for anyone who comes to BCN! It's so important to also learn about the history and culture. A fantastic tour. Greetings to Lisa.read more

Miguel was extremely knowledgable and gave us lot of detail and information on each... place and also bits and pieces of the in-between that tied the places together into a whole story!Miguel spent a good amount of time with us and also gave us good local tips for food, shops and such.We would highly recommend Runner Bean Tours!!read more

They go by donation and they are worth every penny .My friend and I have been on tours in a lot of cities and this tour ranked amongst our... favorite. We were encouraged to ask questions, and if I ever have an opportunity I would take as many tours from them as they offer. Thank you 😊 💙read more

We had a very short time in Barcelona so to make the most of the time we had, we decided to do a walking tour. I'm so glad we chose Runner Bean Tours. We did the Antoni Gaudรญ tour with Lisa and thoroughly enjoyed it.... Even our children were engaged throughout thanks to Lisa's gift for storytelling and bringing you on a journey with her tour. Given the current climate in Spain with few foreign tourists visiting, we were in a unique position to enjoy an almost private tour in a very quiet city...an experience we will probably never have the opportunity to have ever again. We enjoyed the Gaudรญ tour so much that we booked the Gothic tour the very next day and were lucky enough to have Lisa as a guide once more. Again, a wonderful tour delivered in an engaging and really entertaining way. Lisa's knowledge of the history of Barcelona shines through and her passion for this wonderful city is absolutely contagious. Highly recommended for the whole family ♥️👌read more

We had an awesome time on the Barcelona gothic quarter tour with Miguel! Miguel was an amazing guide. He was full of interesting information, and his passion and love for the city and his job made the tour extra... enjoyable. He also gave us lots of recommendations for places to eat and drink in the city, and even helped us mark them on google maps. He also took some great pictures for us. I wouldnโ€™t hesitate to recommend runner bean tours. Thank you Miguel for giving us such an insightful experience!read more

We have done a lot of walking tours all over the world and this was by far our favourite. Miguel was very knowledgeable and funny and made this an enjoyable experience. It is clear that Miguel loves what he does and... made sure that we had fun too. There were only 2 others on the tour with us and he made sure we were safe and distanced and everyone wore their masks to make sure we all felt safe and comfortable. I 100% recommend doing this tour - especially if with Miguel if possible! Gracias for a lovely few hours in Barca!! :)read more

    Hello Anne Marie.Thank you for your suggestions,I just ask a few questions concerning the Day of museum:Sunday 17 or monday 18? According to official website it will be 17?Could you give me a website link confirming that it is on monday 18?

    Will be some museums like the picasso one packed of crowd?

    And concerning the free tour,do you have a Spanish one or even catalan?
    Moltes Gracies!

      Hi Carles,

      The International Museum Day is on the 18th but, being a Monday, the free entrance will the on the 17th (Sunday). That is where the confusion arose and it is all fixed now.

      The most popular museums (Picasso, for example) will definitely be packed on the 17th but there are other amazing museums in the city that deserve a visit, like the MNAC or the City History Museums, and where there will be no waiting in line.

      Our scheduled free walking tours (Gaudรญ and Old City) are only in English. We don’t offer free tours in Spanish or Catalan but you can see the timetable of the English ones under “Our Tours” on the main menu.

        Just an update: some of the museums that close on Monday (like the Picasso Museum, for example) will have a free entrance on Sunday 17th while with some of the others, the free entrance will be on Monday 18th. My advice is to check with each individual place. Enjoy a cultural day everyone!

WE SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE TOURISM

Biosphere Barcelona standard for Commitment to Sustainable TourismWWC Safe Travels stamp

Runner Bean Tours is part of the Biosphere Barcelona standard for Commitment to Sustainable Tourism. This is awarded to a few tour operators who are committed to responsible and environmentally-friendly management, culture, decent working conditions, gender equity and social and economic benefits.

On our tours, we are always sure we respect the local neighbourhoods and we only collaborate with small Barcelona businesses which help support the local economy.

Runner Bean Tours also holds the WTTC SafeTravels Stamp. This was created for travellers to recognise destinations and businesses around the world which have adopted the SafeTravels health and hygiene global standardised protocols.
