Barcelona's ethnology and world cultures museum is an underrated gem that brings together anthropological collections from across Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania alongside Catalan folk culture. The curation is thoughtful and avoids the colonial gaze that plagues many ethnographic institutions. It's quiet, affordable, and genuinely enriching. Caveat: it's less well-known so visitor services and signage can be sparse; check opening hours carefully before visiting.
