Interactive exhibits cover 2000-plus years of Catalan history:

Museu d'Història de Barcelona
Stroll over ruins of Roman-era Barcino, then see fine Catalan
Gothic architecture inside a former royal palace.
Cosmocaixa

patch of Amazonian rainforest.
Museu-Monestir de Pedralbes
A peaceful old convent with a 14th-century cloister and old-
world religious artwork.
Poble Espanyol
This kitschy leftover from the 1929 World Exhibition provides an overview of
