By , About.com Guide

Barcelona! at the Cleveland Museum of Art ran from October 15, 2006 to January 7, 2007. The exhibit explored the art of Barcelona during the period from 1868 to 1939 when that city transformed itself into one of the most dynamic centers of art and architecture in Europe. Included in the exhibit were more than 300 examples of visual and decorative arts by artists such as Gaudi, Picasso, Dali, and Miro.

The exhibit reopened the museum after its closure during the previous summer for new construction.
