In addition, there are various archaeological objects from Egypt, pre-Columbian period, Philippines, etc. Also, it’s not very large, so you can admire everything on display without feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of objects and rooms you visit. #AprilDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Catalonia
