I want to learn about different movements, styles, artists, etc purely for personal interest.
Can anyone reccomend the best books, websites and guides?
Ideally first I'd like to learn the different movements/styles and then why each one was different, new and popular.
Thanks!!

I've been to Barcelona - that trip is actually what inspired me to learn more. No more travel suggestions please.

You may buy books on Michaelangelo, Pablo Picasso , Monet, Manet, Vincent Van Gough, Degas, Marc Chagall, Cezanne, Utrillo, and Toulouse-Lautrec and Rodin. Or you may visit your local library.
Visit local museums or "Google" museums and see all of the beautiful artwork. You may also "Google" individual artists.
Some different styles are:Rennaisance, Boroque, Modern, Post-Modern, Cubism(Picasso) and Impressionist. Get ready to fall in love! Ancient art is painted in caves! Also see Egyptian and Greek.

Visit Barcelona. I know that doesn't really answer the question. But the best way to learn about something is to experience it.

First you have to learn the art history. Find some modern art history to study the diference school of art.
