Galleria Villa del Arte works from Monday to Sunday from 10 am to 11 pm and is located at Calle de la Tapineria, 39, right next to Catedral de Barcelona. The best way to get there is by taking the yellow line (L4) of the subway and exiting at the stop called Jaume I.
Several years ago I purchased a piece at the Palm Beach Art and Jewelry show.
Time has passed and the entire art has discolored to yellow, not displayed in sunlight.
Needless to say I am very displeased, is there anything that can be done.
