Collection
As the Gothic collection draws to a close, you pass through two eclectic collections,
which span the history of European painting between the 14th century and the begin-
ning of the 19th century.
Modern Catalan Art
Up on the next floor, after a series of rooms devoted to mostly minor works by a variety
of 17th-century Spanish Old Masters, the collection turns to modern Catalan art. The
collection is an uneven affair, but it's worth looking out for Modernista painters Ramon
Casas and Santiago Rusiñol, as well as the recently deceased Antoni Tàpies.
Also on show are items of Modernista furniture and decoration, including a mural by
Ramon Casas of himself and Pere Romeu on a tandem bicycle. The furniture collection
comes from the original Modernista houses and includes a great display of decorative
objects.
