Absolutely loved the Miro foundation - both the artworks themselves and the building housing them. You get a great insight into what was influencing him during each of his recognised styles and periods.

I found the maritime museum in the medieval shipyards surprisingly interesting.
The Museum of the History of the City of Barcelona includes a fascinating walk through the archeological remains of the Roman city under the streets of the modern city.

Had a huge experience at the Miró foundation a couple of weeks ago. http://www.fundaciomiro-bcn.org/?idioma=2
I can also highly recommend the Museu d'Història de Barcelona (MUHBA) with the ruins of Roman Barcino down in the ground: http://museuhistoria.bcn.cat/

I really liked the National Museum of Catalonian Art. I enjoyed the history museum but I like those kind of things a lot. Really liked the Miro museuc, and the maritime museum.
Didn't like the Picasso museum much at all. First, I'm not a big Picasso fan and have seen his stuff a bazillion times in other, better museums. There are also other Picasso museums, several of them, in other cities. The one in Barcelona isn't very interesting IMO and doesn't have many of his best works, if I recall. If you are a diehard Picasso fan, I guess it would be a must-see. Otherwise, I'd spend my time doing something you can't do somewhere else (which is seeing Picasso paintings).

<<The modernisme of Gaudi and Puig is more interesting and substantive than the collections in Barcelona>>
Yeah, because modern art is known for its 50% accuracy.
Look at the articket if you're going to go to a bunch on the list: http://www.articketbcn.org/en/barcelonamuseums. It used to include Casa Mila but not any more.

It is a unique collection of the founder, sculptor Frederic Marès. Not for every one, but interesting. I think it's worth a visit if you have the time, but it's not on everyone's "to do" list, which is actually a good thing.
