Everything in the pass
What's included
Articket BCN
Six-museum pass valid for 12 months from first use. Costs €38 per adult and covers permanent collections and temporary exhibitions at all six venues, with skip-the-line access at each.
Six museums covered
Includes Museu Picasso, Fundació Joan Miró, MNAC, MACBA, CCCB, and Fundació Antoni Tàpies – a full day on Montjuïc alone covers three of them.
Skip-the-line access
Each museum has a fast-track desk that stamps your Articket booklet. In high season this saves meaningful time, particularly at the Picasso Museum in El Born.
Under-16s free
