The list of museums is endless. Contemporary Art, Modern Art, Erotic Art, Medicine, Geology, Zoology, Biology, Perfume, even a Museum of Chocolate. But really worth a visit is the Museum of the Old City. A lift transports you downwards as an illuminated display counts back the years from the present day to 13 B.C. This is 30 feet under the surface where walkways of plate glass are built over the excavated ruins of the city of Barcino, 2000 years ago. Very atmospheric.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7655 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7231 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7231 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6075

It is a construction site inside and totally disappointing.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6075 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5283

The Museum is set in the town's old municipal theatre and it is an amazing spectacle - everything that you would expect from Dali and more. Dare I say, even those who usually detest art galleries will love this place. You will find many of Dali's paintings brought to life as sculptures in the amazing courtyard areas and well as all manner of weird and wonderful paintings and objects from the world's best known surrealist.

Once you have had your fill of Dali, there are plenty of shops cafes to wonder around and watch the world go by.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4307 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3992 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3992 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3991 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3991 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3990 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3990 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3989 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3989 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3534 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3534 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1757
The museum also organises concerts, audiovisual festivals and debate, which take place in the open courtyard in the summer months. It also plays host to the famed Sonar music festival in June. There's a pleasant terrace at the back of the museum for a quiet coffee in the sun.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1757
