Apparently the last Mystery Photo was an easy one, as several recognized the photo and several have visited recently. First in was Mike Sweigart of Suwanee who told us it was the National Museum of Art in Barcelona.  “I attended the Rotary International Convention there.” The photo was sent in by Tom Merkel of Berkeley Lake.

Then came Karen Burnette Garner of Dacula: “Stairs leading to the Museau Nacional D’Art de Catalunya, in Barcelona, Spain.” Then the always traveling Donny Loeber of Norcross: “The mystery photo is the National Art Museum of Catalunya in Barcelona.  We were there recently.”

Bob Foreman of Grayson says: “The photo appears to be taken from a tour bus. That is why there is a “remain seated” sign is there. The photo is the  Catalunya National Art Museum in Barcelona, Spain, another place on my list of places I plan to visit.”

Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill: “I’ll bet lots of people will guess this awesome site. It’s the “Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya” in Barcelona. The “remain seated” sign appears to be on the top deck of an open-air tour bus.”

Mike Wood of Peachtree Corners: “It’s the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya. Fortunately, I was able to visit this museum in 2007.”

Jim Savadelis of Duluth sent in a novel reply, which, with him a Greek, you know he loves good stories. So he made one up as the answer to the Mystery Photo, which of course, is not true. His words: “This is the Palace of Duluth. Notice the influence of Greek architecture in the four pillars in front. It was formerly the country estate of the King of Norcross, which however was lost when the Duluthians declared independence from Norcross in War for Duluth in 1777.”
