The Catalonian Art Museum houses local art and goes deep into local culture along with it. From the front of the buildins you can see a large fountain at the bottom of the hill. Most nights there is a spectacular light show in the fountain that is well recommended.
The Joan Miro Surrealist Art Collection has a wonderful collection of the works of Joan Miro within it. The design of the building itself leaves you in no doubt what ever there is inside is very surreal.

The Archeological Museum of Catalonia has a good selection of ancient artifacts from the region including sculpture and rock art.

There is also a good bus service up the hill and as before, on foot it wont be so bad. Car parking should not be an issue as the stadium and swimming pool are not over used.
