the <strong>Museu Picasso<\/strong>, which showcases the early works of the legendary artist; the <strong>MACBA<\/strong>, Barcelona\u2019s hub for contemporary art; and the<strong> CCCB<\/strong>, where exhibitions are often combined with live performances or open-air installations. The <strong>Fundaci\u00f3 Joan Mir\u00f3<\/strong>, perched on Montju\u00efc hill, is another favourite that will welcome visitors to enjoy its surrealist masterpieces under the stars. It\u2019s important to note that some of the most popular museums require <strong>booking or timed-entry tickets<\/strong>, even though entry is <strong>free<\/strong>. Check each museum\u2019s official website ahead of time to confirm access rules and avoid disappointment. Expect long queues at the most visited venues, so consider starting your evening early or exploring some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.apartmentbarcelona.com\/hidden-gems-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">hidden gems<\/a> with shorter lines.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Extra Information<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The Night of the Museums is also a great chance to explore some of the lesser-known museums in Barcelona, most of which will hold <strong>workshops<\/strong> and organised talks that will slowly ease you into perhaps more niche subjects.
