Museu de Cera de Barcelona

★★★★★ 4.3/5 (36,450 reviews) Very Good

About This Museum

Tucked away on a charming, narrow lane in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, the Museu de Cera is a wonderfully quirky escape from the Mediterranean sun. You'll turn a corner and suddenly be face-to-face with an incredibly lifelike Salvador Dalí, his iconic mustache and all, before bumping into a stern-looking Queen Isabella I. It’s not just a hall of statues; it’s a bizarre and delightful party where historical heavyweights, movie stars, and Spanish cultural icons all mingle silently. The sheer variety is the real charm—one moment you're with Shakespeare, the next you're sizing up a football legend.

Collection Highlights

The fantasy-themed 'Forest of Fairy Tales' is a total standout, where you can sip a coffee surrounded by magical creatures. Other must-sees include the hyper-realistic figures of Pablo Picasso and Antoni Gaudí, plus a seriously spooky dungeon section that's perfect for a fun photo op.

Visitor Information

It's located at Passatge de la Banca, 7, right in the heart of Ciutat Vella and an easy walk from the Ramblas. It’s a fantastic spot for a rainy day or when you need a break from cathedral-hopping, and kids absolutely love the fairy forest cafe.

Architecture & Building

Housed in a classic, unassuming Barcelona-era townhouse that gives no hint of the whimsical world waiting inside.
