1. Museo Episcopal de Vic
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 149 reviews
The Episcopal Museum of Vic (MEV), founded in 1891, houses a magnificent collection of medieval art with paintings and sculpture from the Catalan Romanesque and Gothic periods. The collections of precious metals, textiles, wrought ironwork, glass and ceramics offer a comprehensive journey through the history of liturgical and decorative art in Catalonia. This highly prized collection, including over 29,000 pieces, is exhibited in a new building on a site adjoining the cathedral, equipped with state-of-the-art exhibition facilities. Due to the exceptional interest of the museum's collections, in 2001 the museum was declared a museum of national interest by the Government of Catalonia.

This museum was probably the best thing we saw on our entire three week trip. First we viewed an excellent collection of early ivories and then the section with all the medieval art. It is in such good condition! There are painted panels, sculptures, and even a wooden deposition group! We used the audio tour but the further you get away from the main desk the more difficult it is to get reception. The person staffing the front desk was very helpful and added to our excellent opinion of the museum.

The Capellades Paper Mill Museum is housed in the “Moli de la Vila”, an old paper mill, conserved to resemble a typical 18th century paper mill. Next To the museum, there is a small lake, known as the “Bassa”, which is a natural source of the crystalline water once used by the town’s sixteen paper mills. In the museum's workshop you can make paper by your own hands!
