Montserrat: Museum Entry + Escolania is a museum and cultural visit at the Benedictine monastery complex on the mountain of Montserrat, outside Barcelona. The site has drawn pilgrims for close to a thousand years, centred on La Moreneta, the Romanesque statue of the Virgin Mary dating from the late 12th century. Entry covers the open-air museum, the Montserrat Museum with its collections of archaeology, painting, and sacred art, and a dedicated audiovisual space that sets the history of the monastery in context.

Visitors move through the basilica, where access to La Moreneta is included, and take in a performance by the Escolania, one of the oldest boys' choirs in Europe, which participates in liturgical celebrations and community prayers. The choir school has been attached to the monastery since at least the 14th century. Tickets cover all listed museum spaces and basilica access; transport from Barcelona and food and drinks are not included. The starting point is Monistrol de Montserrat. The site is wheelchair accessible, and among the wider range of Barcelona attractions, this visit combines religious heritage, fine art, and choral music in a single half-day itinerary.
