Kyle, Andrew, Katherine and me went to the MNAC yesterday. As an introduction, Kyle and Katherine are on my course. Kyle's from Indiana in the US, and Kat is from Liverpool in the UK. Andrew is Kyle's fiancee, also from Indiana. Kyle stays with me in the apartment and she's a really funny sense of humor, and she tells it with a straight face. Andrew comes over almost everyday to cook, so we usually hang out in the kitchen for a bit in the evenings.
Back to the MNAC. This is one of the best museums that I've been to here. It covers all the periods of art from 11th century Romanesque Art, to Gothic Art (13-15thC), Renaissance and Baroque (16-18thC), all the way to Modern Art (19thC). So it's great. We got through the Modern Art and some of the Baroque on the 2nd floor in about 2 1.2hr and saw a good cross-section of the great Catalunyan artists during that time.
There were both paintings and sculptures. Of course there were Picassos, and also some others like Ramon Casas, Gaudi, Dali, Julio Gonzalez, Joaquim Mir (he's got crazy colour sense), and Mariano Fortuny. If you have a moment, Google all these folks on Google images and you'll see what I mean by they are good. :)
Understandably, we were all hungry by the time we were done so we all went to me and Kyle's house to get some food. Saving the first storey (there are 2 storeys to the museum) for next time!
