Located in a building designed by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, the National Museum of Montserrat (MDM) houses one of the most important art collections in the country. Containing works by Caravaggio, El Greco, Rusiñol, Casas, Picasso, Dali, Monet and others, it also has a valuable collection of archaeology from the ancient world with archaeological remains from the Near East (ancient Persia, Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Holy Land...). Discover also temporary exhibitions in addition to the permanent collection.

Enter the newly renovated audiovisual space of Montserrat and learn what Montserrat is and what it means. The exhibition is based on three fundamental areas: the mountain, the abbey and the sanctuary.
