The rooms dedicated to Pre-Colombian Art in the Barbier-Mueller Museum invite the viewer to contemplate the works as key expressions of the cultures they represent. The collection covers most of the styles that exist in the pre-Hispanic cultures of Meso-America, Central America, Andean America, and the Amazon region. The sculptures, ceramics, fabrics and ritual objects on display take us back to a time when the unforeseen discovery of a new continent transformed our understanding of the world.

One of the most prestigious collections in the world, on both national and international levels, was transferred by the Barbier-Mueller Museum of Geneva (Switzerland) to Barcelona.

The Museum is situated in an edifice of medieval origin, the Palau Nadal, in the historic Montcada street, opposite the Picasso Museum.
