    MUST VISIT place for everybody
    This is a MUST VISIT place if you are in Barcelona. The experience is incredible even if you are not a fan of the Alien Saga (which was my case). I went there with my husband and we absolutely enjoyed every single detail of the tour: the different collection items, the overall sci-fi environment portraying the “Alien world” and, more importantly, luis’ story telling which was really captivating. We love traveling and we saw different interesting places around the world, but this is a unique experience. If you are around, don’t think and book time for this original experience.

    Highly recommended for any movie fans!
    This was one of the most fun and unique experiences we could have stumbled upon in Barcelona! Luis’ collection is absolutely incredible, and his knowledge and passion infectiously shines throughout the tour. I surprised a friend of mine (who is a huge Alien franchise fan) with a visit here for his birthday, and our jaws were on the floor the entire time. I can’t recommend this experience enough for any fan of Alien or movies in general. Thanks so much for sharing your time and collection with us, Luis!

    Enjoying Alien and Nostromo !!
    Brilliant. A very enjoyable and fun experience. Luis, the creator of the museum, guided us through the various scenes and gave us countless details and curiosities about the movies, their characters and anecdotes from the filming. You can also see original objects used and take a photo session if you wish. If you are a lover of the saga you cannot miss this visit. If you visit Barcelona you have no excuse

    A must for Alien or filmmaking fans!
    I am so glad we stumbled upon this experience during a trip to Barcelona! The attention to detail and the love for the Alien films and the film industry in general is incredible. So fun for fans of the franchise (like me) and people who are new to the films and just love movies (like my 14 year old daughter). We had a blast!

    Alien is alive and well in Barcelona!!
    For any Alien film franchise or sci-fi lover, this is a must visit. Luis Nostromo ( info@museoalien.com / FB luisnostromo ) has spent years collecting and recreating parts of the Alien movie sets. His knowledge and passion are there for one to see when he talks about his collection. How it came into his posession and the stories behind the pieces. The stories with the actors and stunt doubles and background knowledge he shares makes you want to go and re-watch the films to see all the pieces he points out during the hour long walk through. We could have spent another hour, such is his knowledge. He is a man on mission with new pieces coming in and we were lucky to come across this while checking items to do in Barcelona, something that we are so glad we contacted him to arrange the tour. Contact him to arrange a tour and you won't be disappointed!!!

    Hey, all you Alien enthusiasts out there! If you're a bit of a geek for everything Alien, you absolutely can't miss this spot in Barcelona. Luis, the ultimate Alien expert, will be your guide, dishing on movie secrets and taking you behind the extraterrestrial scenes. Seriously, skipping this is like turning down an encounter with an actual Xenomorph! 🛸👾

    Extraordinary experience
    A must visit for all ALIEN fans! The museum features original requisites and a huge variety of statues, including very exquisite ones. The atmosphere is amazing, i felt like I was teleported into the alien universe and that the rooms resemble the original film sets make the illusion even more convincing. Truly an ones in a lifetime experience. Furthermore instead of just looking and walking through the museum you get an interactive tour packed with interesting information.

    Not a Museum but an Experience
    I love so much this museum, think my favorite! It’s not a fully museum but it’s an experience, this museum have a lot of interactions. Luis is so kind and he explains very well. There’s also a little shop and I really advice to buy something because you will notice that Luis has put so much effort into making the museum

    Do not miss!!! Cozy and spooky amusement theme park in Barcelona.
    If you are an Alien fan, this is a mandatory visit. If you know, or if you think you know the movie, this time will allow to know even more. If you have just discovered the franchise, this will help you to understand the whole Alien universe. Amazing work to recreate detailed world for Weyland Yutani's properties...

    The museum has so many facets it's hard to imagine the work and effort put into the museum.
    I hope my family and friend write reviews of today's experience. Luis produced an excellent tour starting from the first Alien film, Aliens, 3, etc. His research as well as his mastery at building reproductions of weapons and many other devices used on the movie sets is incredible. Luis created a phenomenal museum. I won't give away any secrets to the films that Luis showed us, tricks of the trade if you will. And his knowledge and dedication to his craft are not found in many places. You'll have to see that and decide that for yourself. If you are in Barcelona, go see the Alien Museum Tour. You won't regret it. Bill B

My family and I visited Museo Alien while in the city last month. We are all big fans of the Alien movies and it is clear that Luis has created an experience that is as close as you can get to being in the movies! Every exhibit is fascinating and some are so rare you will not see them anywhere else. The design of the museum is as important as the items on display, and Luis has even incorporated some of the actual visual effects techniques from the movies into the design of the museum. This place is a must-see for any serious Aliens (or sci-fi) fan.

Found this just a couple of days before visiting Barcelona, so made a last minute request for a visit. Luis responded almost immediately to say that unfortunately he was fully booked for the weekend, but he would let us know if there were any cancellations. And luckily for us, there was! Easy to get to, we took the metro to Maragall and then it’s a 10 minute walk.

I’m only a casual viewer of the Alien films, but as soon as you step in the door your jaw will hit the floor. Such amazing attention to detail and a whole lot of work has gone into this. It’s only a small set of spaces, but that kind of adds to the appeal, and Luis has no problem filling an hour with facts and stories.

Quite simply, if you have even only a passing interest in the Alien movies, then GO! You will not be disappointed.

After getting into the Alien franchise I have been hoping to meet other fans to discuss this sci-fi masterpiece with in person. The Alien Museum (Museo Alien) gave me that opportunity! The owner is a dedicated fan himself, who can share plenty of little-known, interesting facts. The interior of the museum looks like a combination of studio sets from the actual films. Such attention to detail! Not to mention that the place will keep improving with more rooms and memorabilia in the future, so will make sure to visit again on my next trip to Barcelona. A terrific experience!

This museum was one of the best things we visited on our vacation.
So much time, thought and passion went into building every room and prop that it is impossible not to be impressed.
The owner is incredibly passionate about the Alien franchise and gave a so many interesting facts about the movies that we had to watch them again once we got home.
Hands down, the best 'hidden gem' in Barcelona for every Alien/ Sci-Fi fan!
Book a tour, you won't regret it!

Thank you for an amazing tour! We'll definitely be back next time we visit Barcelona.

This is a small but very detailed replica of parts of the Alien spaceship. Luis guides you through each section with lots of information and passion. There are many original pieces and the replica items are incredibly detailed. Highly recommended if you are a fan of the Alien series of films.

As soon as you enter Hadley's Hope, you feel as though you've left Barcelona and entered the movie ALIEN. The accuracy to the films is astounding, and the tour by Luis is extremely informative and interesting. He has put together an amazing museum, and a must visit for any Alien fan. Even if you're not hardcore about Alien, it's a great tribute to sci-fi and films in general. Huge highlight of my trip to Barcelona. Thanks, Luis!

Luis is very knowledgeable and passionate about the museum. He made sure to explain every detail in his museum. I went with my kids ages 8,6 who haven't seen the alien movies yet. He was able to explain details and get them excited about the movies. As an alien movie fan I thoroughly enjoyed the additional background details Luis provided. I'm looking forward to his expansion. Definitely recommend a visit if you like the alien movies.
