Located in the 15th-century Palau Nadal, Museu Barbier-Mueller d'Art Precolombí, this world-class collection of pre-Columbian art was ceded to Barcelona in 1996 by the Barbier-Mueller Museum in Geneva. The Barcelona holdings of the Museu Barbier-Mueller d'Art Precolombí focus solely on the Americas, representing most of the styles from the ancient cultures of Meso-America, Andean America and the Amazon region. Dramatically spotlit in the black rooms of the Museu Barbier-Mueller d'Art Precolombí, the frequently changing selection of masks, textiles, jewellery and sculpture includes pieces dating from as far back as the second millennium BC running through to the early 16th-century (demonstrating just how loosely the term 'pre-Columbian' can be used).
