The Palau Nacional, the building that houses the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, has several spaces for filming and photographic sessions of all kinds, thanks to the versatility of its facilities. The building is also famous as it is one of the most emblematic of Barcelona, and was the backdrop for the 1929 International Exposition. Over the years it has been transformed into one of the architectural icons that shape the city’s skyline. It has a large car park and is surrounded by outdoor areas.

The Museu Nacional offers the entire building as a space for filming or photo shoots and includes the following:

Permanent exhibition rooms
