Located in a building designed by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, the Museum of Montserrat (MDM) is home to one of the country's most important art collections. Containing works by Caravaggio, El Greco, Rusiñol, Casas, Picasso, Dali, Monet and others, it also has a valuable collection of the Archaeology of the Ancient World with archaeological remains from the Near East (ancient Persia, Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Holy Land...). The permanent collections are joined by temporary exhibitions, located in two galleries expressly intended for these purposes: Sala Daura and the Espai d’Art Pere Pruna. The MDM was declared a National Museum of Spain in 2006.
