Barcelona's museums are wonderfully varied so there's something for everyone. The Maritime Museum, City History Museum and Catalan History Museum are engaging and comprehensive and a great way to gain deeper insight. CosmoCaixa, Barcelona's Science Museum, has proved a recent hit, too. Among these wide-ranging venues are a profusion of smaller museums focusing on the weird and wonderful, from shoes to erotica and textiles to chocolate.
