Episcopal Museum of Vic and its collection
Source
In 1995, under the architectural direction of Alfons Milà and Frederic Correa, the old school of Sant Josep, located next to the cathedral, was rebuilt to house the museum's large collections. This move was necessitated by the significant increase in the museum's collections. The new building was designed to accommodate the vast array of artifacts and works of art that the museum had acquired over the years.
Sections of the Museum
The museum's collections are divided into several sections, each dedicated to a specific period or type of art. These sections include archaeology and lapidary, Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance, textile and clothing, and a section dedicated to glass, leather, goldsmithing and ceramics. Each section is arranged in chronological and stylistic order, allowing visitors to trace the evolution of art and culture through the ages.
Recognition of the Museum
In 2001, the Generalitat de Catalunya declared the Episcopal Museum of Vic a museum of national interest. This recognition underscores the museum's importance in preserving and showcasing the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the region. It also highlights the museum's commitment to promoting understanding and appreciation of art and history among its visitors.
