Museu Barbier-Mueller d'Art Precolombí, Pre-Columbian art museum in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain.

The collection features sculptures, masks, textiles, and ceremonial objects from ancient civilizations throughout Mesoamerica, Central America, and the Andes regions.

The museum opened on May 27, 1997, in the Nadal Palace, a fifteenth-century building, as an extension of the Barbier-Mueller Museum from Geneva, Switzerland.

The exhibits display artifacts representing social structures, religious practices, and daily life elements from pre-Hispanic populations across different American regions.

The museum location at Montcada Street 14 provides convenient access from Jaume I and Urquinaona metro stations in central Barcelona.

This institution housed the only European collection dedicated exclusively to pre-Columbian art until 2013, when the artifacts were auctioned at Sotheby's.
